Dragonfly is a New Frontiers Program mission that will deliver a rotorcraft lander to Saturn’s moon, Titan [1]. The focus of this work is to analyze the trajectory from cruise stage separation until lander separation. This analysis is done by the NASA Langley (LaRC) EDL team using Program to Optimize Trajectories II (POST2)[2]. This poster provides an overview of the current design and the robustness of the overall entry sequence as assessed using a Monte Carlo uncertainty analysis. This mission is led by Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory (APL), presented here is the design and analysis as of the Dragonfly EDL Assembly Preliminary Design Review (PDR).
