NASA's Dragonfly Mission: Unveiling The Secrets Of Saturn's Moon, Titan

-

 NASA's dragon fly mission aim is to search for prebiotic chemical processes and habitability in saturn's moon Titan.In this mission a rotorcraft fly on Titan and collect important data.This will be the 1st mission have rotorcraft fly on other than earth and mars surface and also rotorcraft fly on other earth moon.This will become 1st mission have rotorcraft fly on TiTan.

Mission objective 

This mission (dragonfly) is designed to study the surface composition,atmosphere condition and geologic processes in Titan.The rotorcraft will fly to different location on moon,collect samples and conduct experiments at same time.The mission primary objective includes :

• Assessing the microbial habitability on Titan

•Studing the prebiotic chemistry of Titan at different places 

• Perform fly to different locations etc..

Space craft design and instruments it contains 

The space craft is designed as a rotorcraft lander, it is similar to Quadcopter having two rotors. It contains eight rotors,which will help in case of malfunction.This space craft powered by a lithium-ion battery which powered by a Multi Mission Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generator (MMRTG) during night times

The dragonfly spacecraft equipped science instruments:

• Dragonfly Mass Spectrometry (DragMS),identifies the chemical composition in surface and atmosphere samples

• Dragonfly Gyama Gays and Neuton Spectrometer (DragGNS),identifies the surface composition under lander

• Dragonfly Geophysics and Meteorology Package (DragGMet),a set of meteorology sensors which includes seismometer

•Dragonfly Camera set(DragCam) it consists of microscopic and panoramic cameras.

Launch and Trajectory

The Dragonfly mission is scheduled to launch in July 2028.This mission  costs about $3.35 billion. The spacecraft will perform a gravity assist flyby of Earth to gain additional velocity to get into the way to Titan.The Space craft will reach titan in 2034

Entry and Descent

The cruise stage will separate from the entry capsule ten minutes before entering into the Titan's atmosphere. The lander will descend to the surface using an aeroshell and with the help of two parachutes, while the spent cruise stage will burn up in uncontrolled atmospheric entry. The duration of the descent phase is expected to be 105 minutes

Landing Site

The Dragonfly rotorcraft will initially land in, dunes to the southeast of the Selk impact structure at the edge of the dark region, Shangri-La. It will explore this region in a series of flights up to 8 kilometers each, collecting samples from compelling areas with diverse geography.

NASA's dragonfly mission will help us to learn about saturn's moon(Titan) by studing atmosphere and surface.This may be leading to understand more about our solar system and also helpfull for our future missions.

 Nasa today launching the Sentinel-6 Michael Freilich Satellite to the space in 2020 Friends nasa today launching the Sentinel-6 Michael Freilich Satellite to space.this satillite is launching for observe the levels of ocean tides and all things about the ocean. Because in this time in america have come so many big winds and also rains.and tsunamis.and in the beach near regions are phasing problems.for that the nasa make this satillite and launching into space.you have come one dought.the nasa launch so many satillites.that satillites are avaible in the space in this also. So that satillite make give this work. Yes your dought is correct.but that are satillites are not made for this work.and that satillites are have not observe the ocean.but the Sentinel-6 Michael Freilich Satellite observe the ocean in 24 hours.for that the nasa launching this satillite. This satillite work is only observe the ocean and give the result to nasa team.fot that this satillites nasa maked fastly.and

 Nasa conducted the 4th time of orion capsule Dropdown test for Artemis in 2021. Friends nasa was conducted the 4th time of capsule Dropdown test for Artemis mission.with crew or without crew. This tests are conducted in series.so in that series this is the 4th test.that test video ianm given below.so once see that video. In this tests conducted without crew inside capsule. This test was conducted on may 20 2021.nasa not only conducted capsule test only conducting also SLS boosters test also. Nasa new administration also ask funds for nasa new projects like Artemis missions.and james webb telescope like projects. Friends if you like this post please share with your friends. Thankyou...................
