The Dragonfly rotorcraft-lander will be one of NASA's most diversely capable planetary exploration craft.
Ingenuity is only equipped with cameras and a few basic instruments to ensure vehicle health and flight performance. When Dragonfly arrives at Titan, it will be carrying an entire laboratory. Because of Titan's geological diversity, Dragonfly is being designed to test the gamut of the moon's properties, including its atmospheric composition and the chemical makeup of its differing liquid bodies above and below ground.
In addition, the drone will analyze samples extracted from Titan's surface. Dragonfly will use the Drill for Acquisition of Complex Organics instrument to dig out surface material less than a gram at a time. These specimens will be stored and analyzed internally, inside part of the lander's main body known as the"attic". Dragonfly's attic houses another instrument, called the Dragonfly Mass Spectrometer .
