任务简介
Dragonfly 是 NASA 第4个“新前沿”计划任务，将派遣一架机器人旋翼机飞入土星卫星 Titan 的大气层，在不同地质环境中采样并确定表面成分，推进人类对生命构成要素的探索。 该飞行器是一架大型四轴飞行器，配备双旋翼，质量约 875 kg，旋翼直径 1.35 m。它可在一小时内飞行数公里，每个 Titan 日（约 16 个地球日）执行一次飞行。在计划 3.3 年的任务期间，Dragonfly 预计飞行距离可达数百公里。 Dragonfly 将使用多任务放射性同位素热电发生器（MMRTG）为其仪器供电。 计划搭载的科学仪器包括： * DragonCam：相机套件 * DrACO：复杂有机物钻取采集装置 * DraMS：质谱仪 * DraGNS：伽马射线和中子能谱仪 * DraGMet：地球物理学与气象学

Dragonfly is NASA's 4th New Frontiers program mission that will send a robotic rotorcraft to fly within the atmosphere of Saturn's moon Titan to sample materials and determine surface composition in different geologic settings, advancing humanity's search for the building blocks of life. The craft is a large quadcopter with double rotors with mass of about 875 kg, featuring rotors of 1.35 m in diameter. It can fly through several kilometers within an hour and will perform 1 flight per Titan day (~16 Earth days). During the planned 3.3-year mission, Dragonfly is expected to cover distance up to several hundred km. Dragonfly will use a Multi-Mission Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generator (MMRTG) to power its instruments. The planned science instrument suite is: * DragonCam: Camera Suite * DrACO: Drill for Acquisition of Complex Organics * DraMS: Mass Spectrometer * DraGNS: Gamma-ray and Neutron Spectrometer * DraGMet: Geophysics and Meteorology
