coreyspowell, 1 month ago I'm so excited about this upcoming space mission. NASA has just confirmed that the Dragonfly octocopter will launch in July, 2028. When it arrives, it will spend at least two years flying over the organic-rich sands of Titan, Saturn's largest moon. https://dragonfly.jhuapl.edu/News-and-Resources/news/20231128.php #space #science #nasa #life #tech The Dragonfly rotorcraft lander, shown here in an artist's rendering of the mission concept, will land on Saturn's moon Titan and then make multiple flights to explore diverse locations as it characterizes the habitability of the ocean world's environment.

grb090423, 1 month ago (edited 1 month ago) @coreyspowell Will it be the world's second mission to successfully land on Titan? Let's hope so 🤞🙂 (In case anyone is wondering, the first mission to successfully land on Titan was ESA's Huygens probe, back in 2005.) #InternationalCollaborationFTW #HuygensMission

mountdiscovery, 1 month ago @grb090423 I need to remind myself often it was called the Cassini-Huygens Mission!! Cassini taking all the shine and recognition with spectacular images of Saturn and its moons... (my fav is the plumes of Enceledus). The uncomming moon mission like the Europa Clipper scouting the surface is exciting but to see one land on another world makes it so more special!

grb090423, 1 month ago @mountdiscovery Quite. It was Cassini-Huygens but I was referring to the only part that landed on Titan, which was the Huygens part.
