More than a decade before the real Dragonfly soars over the organic dunes of Titan, a team of engineers developing the NASA rotorcraft lander at JHU Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) is refining the concept by sending instrumented models over the sands of Earth's deserts. Dragonfly is set to launch to Saturn's moon Titan in 2027.

Our @NASASolarSystem mission #Dragonfly will send a rotocraft flying like a drone over the surface of Saturn's moon Titan, searching for the building blocks of life.

Happy #DragonflyWeek! The fascinating life cycle of dragonflies involves three stages: egg, nymph and adult. When a dragonfly nymph is ready to become an adult, it climbs out of the water, sheds its exoskeleton and leaves behind what is known as an exuviae. Have you ever spotted one of these delicate casings? #DragonflySurvey #WWTCaerlaverock | WWT
