Are we going to Titan?
Summary: The NASA Dragonfly mission will send a rotorcraft relocatable lander to the surface of Saturn’s moon Titan in the mid-2030s; it will be the first mission to explore the surface of Titan.
What planet is SpaceX going to?
Mars
SpaceX has the goal of sending the first uncrewed Starship to Mars in 2024. Elon Musk is “highly confident” SpaceX will land humans on Mars by 2026.
How long would it take to fly to Titan?
When will the mission launch how long will it take to get to Titan? This mission would last about 14 years. It would take roughly seven years to get there, and then the same to get back, though well-timed gravity-assists either on the way there or back could reduce the total flight time to just 10 years.
Can we fly on Titan?
Titan’s atmosphere is thick—four times as dense as Earth’s—and the pull of gravity is only one-seventh what it is here. That combination makes it ideal for generating aerodynamic lift, so flying on Titan takes far less power than a comparable flight on Earth.
Can you live on Titan?
Although there is so far no evidence of life on Titan, its complex chemistry and unique environments are certain to make it a destination for continued exploration.
How much does it cost to go to Titan?

Will SpaceX go to Mars?
Musk remains “highly confident” that SpaceX will land humans on Mars by 2026, saying last December that it’s an achievable goal “about six years from now.” He added that SpaceX plans to send a Starship rocket without crew “in two years.”
Can there be life on Titan?
What was the first spacecraft to explore Titan?
Further telescope observations from Earth showed that Titan’s atmosphere was dense and hazy. The first spacecraft to explore Titan, Pioneer 11, flew through the Saturn system on Sept. 1, 1979. Astronomers on Earth had previously studied Titan’s temperature, and calculated its mass, and Pioneer 11 confirmed those characteristics.
Why is Titan the largest moon in the Solar System?
Astronomers on Earth had previously studied Titan’s temperature, and calculated its mass, and Pioneer 11 confirmed those characteristics. Because of Titan’s extended and opaque atmosphere, scientists at the time thought (incorrectly, it turns out) that Titan might be the largest moon in the solar system.
What did the Hubble Space Telescope see on Titan?
The Hubble images showed large bright and dark areas, including bright region the size of Australia. The Hubble results didn’t prove that liquid seas existed, though, and the mystery about what was hidden below Titan’s haze remained until 2004.
What would have happened if Voyager 1 failed to encounter Titan?
If Voyager 1 had failed to encounter Titan, engineers would have altered Voyager 2’s trajectory to pass closer to the moon as a backup. Fortunately that was not necessary.
