Dragonfly is a NASA New Frontiers Program mission, led by Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory (APL), that will deliver a rotorcraft lander to Saturn’s moon, Titan, which uses a Genesis derived entry vehicle shape. During the Genesis mission, there were concerns with the dynamic stability of the configuration leading to testing at the Aeroballistic Research Facility at Eglin Air Force Base and Dragonfly shares these concerns given the similarity of the entry vehicle shapes. The focus of this paper is to compare the dynamics observed in the ballistic range shots from 1999 against the dynamics from simulation using the Program to Optimize Trajectories II (POST2). This analysis provides a confirmation that the aerodynamics developed during the Genesis mission, especially from ballistic range shots, is being used properly in the Dragonfly mission entry aerodynamics database.
