Abstract

Dragonfly is a New Frontiers class mission led by Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) which will deliver a rotorcraft lander to Saturn’s moon Titan [1] for an extended science mission. The spacecraft will launch in 2027 and arrive at Titan in 2033. This presentation will provide an overview of the Entry and Descent system that is under development to ensure the safe delivery of this unique “relocatable lander” to Titan, with an emphasis on some of the key technical challenges that the team is addressing.
