How did life develop in the universe and is Earth the only place it did? NASA doesn’t dodge the big questions like these – it exists in large part to try to answer them – and the space agency has a mission in the works called Dragonfly to try to answer what may be the two biggest questions of all.
Scientists are counting on Titan’s low gravity and dense atmosphere to allow the robotic rotorcraft to hop to interesting sites as far as several miles apart. At each site, Titan will drill into the surface and remove samples less than a gram in size to bring inside the lander. There, they will be “irradiated by an onboard laser or vaporized in an oven” for study, NASA said.
