Titan (Saturn Moon)

A new study suggests the recipe is different but Saturn’s moon Titan has the necessary ingredients for life. Catherine Neish, a member of Western’s Institute for Earth and Space Exploration (Western Space), together with her colleagues at the European Space Agency (ESA) investigated Titan using advanced imaging technology.

NASA's Dragonfly -- a robotic rotorcraft-lander that's designed to hop across the surface of an extraterrestrial body -- is set to voyage deep into the solar system to explore Titan, Saturn's largest moon, in 2026. Planetary scientist Elizabeth "Zibi" Turtle shares how studying this mysterious moon that's thought to resemble the early Earth could bring us closer to understanding the habitability of other planets -- and the origin of life itself.

After more than a decade of no missions on Titan, we finally got an approved mission that is set to explore titan with a Rotorcraft, drone-like lander that will be able to lift off and land multiple times.

There are few places in the Solar System which are as fascinating as Saturn’s moon Titan. It’s a world with a thicker atmosphere than Earth. Where it’s so cold that it rains ammonia, forming lakes, rivers and seas. Where water ice forms mountains. Like Europa and Encleadus, Titan could have an interior ocean of liquid water too, a place where there might be life. Titan’s got layers, and fortunately, there’s an awesome new mission in the works to explore it: the Titan Dragonfly mission.

What is NASA's Dragonfly Mission? Why is it going to Titan? In this video, we discuss the newly announced Dragonfly mission to Titan. NASA's Dragonfly mission will go to Saturn's largest moon Titan, where it will fly across the surface of Titan to explore different locations around the moon. This mission is a part of NASA New Frontiers Program, which aims to explore more regions of the solar system. The main purpose of this mission is to explore abiotic chemical reactions on Titan, and determine whether or not it is a habitable location. Titan has a lot of unique features about it, which makes it a prime candidate for future exploration, and scientific studies in astrobiology. This mission isn't expected to launch until 2025 or 2026, with it arriving at Titan in 2034.

NASA plans to send an unmanned drone to Titan, Saturn’s largest moon. Titan resembles an early Earth in several ways, containing a thick atmosphere, liquid lakes and rivers on its surface, and an underground ocean of water. So researchers think it might have the ingredients for alien life.

The largest moon of Saturn is a high priority for planetary exploration. Titan is an ocean world and the only moon in our solar system with a dense atmosphere, which supports an Earth-like hydrological cycle of methane clouds, rain, and liquid flowing across the surface to fill lakes and seas. The abundant complex organic material accessible on Titan's surface makes it an ideal destination for studying the conditions necessary for the habitability of an extraterrestrial environment and the kinds of chemical interactions that occurred before life developed on Earth. Dragonfly is a rotorcraft lander mission – proposed to NASA's New Frontiers Program – designed to take advantage of Titan's environment to sample materials and determine surface composition in different geologic settings. This revolutionary mission concept includes the capability to explore diverse locations to characterize the habitability of Titan's environment, to investigate how far prebiotic chemistry has progressed, and even to search for chemical signatures that could indicate water-based and/or hydrocarbon-based life.

On October 26, 2004, NASA's Cassini spacecraft took the first close-up images of Saturn's largest moon Titan. The Cassini spacecraft would later drop off a probe on Titan named Huygens, which was a European spacecraft that hitched a ride to the Saturn system with the Cassini mission. But before Cassini dropped off its robotic passenger, it flew by Titan a few times and took some amazing photos. Cassini completed its first flyby on July 3, 2004, but when it swung by a second time on October 26, it got about 300 times closer than it did the first time. At the closest point of this flyby, Cassini was 745 miles away from the surface of Titan. The spacecraft took hundreds of photos during this flyby, and these were the highest resolution views of Titan anyone had ever seen.

Dragonfly is a proposed mission concept to send a rotorcraft-lander to Saturn’s large, exotic moon, Titan. Designed to sample surface materials and determine composition in different settings, this revolutionary mission concept offers the capability to explore diverse locations and characterize the habitability of Titan’s environment, investigate the progression of prebiotic chemistry, and even to search for chemical hints of water-based or hydrocarbon-based life. The Dragonfly dual-quadcopter would fly to dozens of sites, tens to hundreds of miles apart. Titan’s dense, calm atmosphere and low gravity make flying ideal; the rotorcraft could travel from its initial landing site to explore areas several hundred miles away, though Dragonfly would spend most of its mission making science measurements on the ground. Led by the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory, Dragonfly is a finalist to become the next mission in NASA’s New Frontiers planetary science program. Key partners include Penn State University, NASA (Goddard Space Flight Center, Ames Research Center, Langley Research Center, Jet Propulsion Laboratory), Honeybee Robotics and Malin Space Science Systems. New Frontiers is managed by the Planetary Missions Program Office at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, for the agency’s Planetary Science Division in Washington.
