On Wednesday, NASA announced it will send a spacecraft to the surface of Titan, Saturn\u2019s largest moon and one of the leading candidates for finding extraterrestrial microbial life in our solar system. The Dragonfly mission will involve a small, drone-like rotorcraft lander that will be able to fly in small hops across Titan\u2019s surface, covering more distance during its two-year mission than any planetary rover in history.
