About NASA Dragonfly Launch
Dragonfly is a NASA mission that will send a nuclear-powered rotorcraft to Titan, Saturn's largest moon, to fly between sites and study its chemistry. It is led by the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory.

Dragonfly is expected to reach Titan in 2034. This countdown runs to 00:00 UTC on July 5, 2028, the first day of the window, because the launch time has not been set.
