NASA announced a public campaign, "Journey to Titan," that will place submitted names on a microchip aboard the Dragonfly rotorcraft as it explores Saturn's moon Titan. Participants will receive a personalized digital boarding pass. Names can be submitted until 11:59 p.m. EST on Jan. 15, 2027.
The Dragonfly rotorcraft is being assembled at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory in Laurel, Maryland, which leads the mission for NASA. It is scheduled to launch in 2028 and arrive at Titan in 2034, then fly to different locations on the moon to study its environments and search for clues about prebiotic chemistry.
NASA describes Dragonfly as the first rotorcraft science mission and the fourth mission in its New Frontiers Program, managed by NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center. Elizabeth Turtle of APL is the principal investigator.
