Dragonfly's first flight concept of operations An illustration depicting the concept of operations for Dragonfly's first flight on Saturn's moon Titan. Following separation from its backshell during entry, descent, and landing, Dragonfly will use its eight rotors to fly autonomously to its initial landing site in the Shangri-La dune fields, marking the first powered flight of the rotorcraft on another world.
