The Second Mission, spearheaded by Elizabeth Turtle at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory, is called Dragonfly. It’ll involve sending a helicopter-like robot to the surface of Titan, one of Saturn’s moons.
So far, three missions have been created through the New Frontiers program and are currently exploring the Solar System. NASA started accepting proposals for a Fourth Mission in December of last year, and all submissions had to be sent in by April 28th.
