We flew a helicopter on Mars. Now imagine flying one on a moon nearly a billion miles away. 🚀

Saturn’s moon Titan is one of the most fascinating worlds in our solar system—and NASA’s Dragonfly mission is designed to explore it in an entirely new way.

Dragonfly is a rotorcraft lander built to fly from location to location across Titan’s alien landscape, conducting experiments and searching for clues about the chemistry that existed before life emerged.

And Titan is unlike almost anywhere we've explored.

Its dense atmosphere makes flight possible. Temperatures plunge to around -290°F (-179°C). Organic material exists on its surface, while beneath its icy crust scientists believe there is an ocean of liquid water.

Could material from Titan’s surface interact with that hidden ocean? And what could this distant frozen moon teach us about the conditions necessary for habitability—or even Earth's own distant past?

Getting there is an adventure in itself. Dragonfly must travel roughly a billion miles, survive Titan's extreme environment and descend for hours through its thick atmosphere before the real exploration can even begin.

Ingenuity proved we could achieve powered flight on another world. Dragonfly could help open an entirely new era of planetary exploration.

🚀 IT’S SPACE WEEK ON CURIOSITY STREAM!

From October 1–11, we're celebrating with incredible space documentaries and stories exploring Mars, the Moon, distant worlds and some of humanity's most ambitious missions.

And keep looking up… 🌙 We have a few “over the moon” specials coming your way during Space Week.
