UI researcher, team selected by NASA for mission
Launching a robotic rotorcraft lander to Saturn’s moon, Titan, was envisioned by University of Idaho Associate Professor Jason Barnes, and will become a reality after being selected by NASA for launch in 2025.
The mission, Dragonfly, beat 11 other teams to win NASA’s New Frontiers Program competition. The mission now involves 35 scientists from around the globe and is funded for up to $850 million, according to a press release. The project will be led by the John Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory.
Dragonfly will arrive on Titan in December 2034, with its primary mission to last a little over two years.
