Titan

After the Challenger accident, all DSP spacecraft except DSP-16 were transferred to expendable launch vehicles such as Titan IV and Delta IV.

The Dragonfly spacecraft planned for Titan will use an MMRTG.

The Defense Support Program (DSP)-14 was the first payload planned for the first Titan IV launch.

Tempest was previously called Titan and refers to a launcher with more than 5,000 kilograms to low Earth orbit.

The Dragonfly mission is planned for Titan.

The Dragonfly Mass Spectrometer will explore Titan on NASA's Dragonfly mission.

NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman testified that the FY2027 budget request focuses on building a lunar base, supporting commercial work with LEO, and investing in science programs including the Nancy Grace Roman Telescope and the Dragonfly mission to Titan.

Titan’s surface has liquid methane and ethane lakes and seas, while water behaves like rock at Titan’s temperatures.

Experimental work has weakened the original azotosome hypothesis for Titan’s lakes because the proposed systems tend to crystallize rather than form stable vesicles.

The HEXAGON and the KH-11 initially used the Titan 34D launch vehicle with the same diameter shroud.

One KH-11 satellite failed to reach orbit in 1985 when its Titan rocket malfunctioned.

The Titan IV had a larger shroud to accommodate payloads designed for the shuttle bay.

By the 1990s, the Titan 34D had been replaced by the Titan IV for these satellites.

The Dragonfly mission to Titan and the NEO Surveyor are expected to remain on schedule despite the current fiscal climate.

The proposed NASA budget includes $424 million for the Dragonfly mission to explore Saturn’s moon Titan.

NASA plans to launch the Dragonfly mission to Titan in 2028.

NordSpace’s future Titan medium-lift vehicle is targeting more than 5,000 kg to low Earth orbit.

The Space Shuttle provided more lift capability than the Titan III rocket and a wider payload bay than existing Titan III fairings.
