We present a cloud-based tool that uses drones and machine learning to help recover instrumentally observed meteorite falls.
Unlike planetary rovers operating on the Moon or Mars, robots working on asteroids and comets must interact with surfaces where gravity is extremely weak, terrain is highly irregular, and material […]
NASA’s Dragonfly mission will send a rotorcraft lander to the surface of Titan in the mid-2030s. Dragonfly’s science themes include investigation of Titan’s prebiotic chemistry, habitability, and potential chemical biosignatures […]
The surface and subsurface of worlds beyond Mars remain largely unexplored. Yet these worlds hold keys to fundamental questions in planetary science – from potentially habitable subsurface oceans on icy […]
NASA’s Dragonfly rotorcraft is beginning to take shape – literally – with the delivery of the panels that make up the rotorcraft lander’s body. Built from ultra‑lightweight honeycomb panels designed […]
Debris-covered glaciers (DCGs) at the mid latitudes of Mars preserve ice accumulated in multiple episodes of high obliquity during the Amazonian age. The englacial debris layers formed during interglacials are […]
NASA Dragonfly’s integration and testing – the activities involved in assembling the mission’s rotorcraft lander and testing it for the rigors of launch and extreme conditions of space – is […]
Recent research suggests that Saturn’s bright rings and its largest moon, Titan, may have both originated in collisions among its moons.
In sending a car-sized rotorcraft to explore Saturn’s moon Titan, NASA’s Dragonfly mission will undertake an unprecedented voyage of scientific discovery. And the work to ensure that this first-of-its-kind project […]
The DragonCam Microscopic Camera is an instrument being developed for NASA’s Dragonfly mission [1] to Saturn’s moon Titan.
