Dragonfly is an upcoming NASA New Frontiers mission that will send a rotorcraft lander to Saturn’s moon Titan [1]. This will be the first spacecraft to land on Titan since the Huygens probe’s descent in 2005 and only the second spacecraft overall to enter Titan’s atmosphere. With its dense N2 atmosphere containing trace amounts of CH4, Titan provides a unique entry environment with an unusually long entry sequence and significant radiant heating at relatively low velocities. To address these challenges, the Dragonfly entry capsule design is informed by state-of-the-art aerothermodynamic analysis tools and methodologies that will be laid out in this poster.
