NASA delays launch of Dragonfly mission to Titan
Posted: Sat, Dec 2, 2023, 9:43 AM ET (1443 GMT)
A NASA mission to Saturn's moon Titan has been delayed. NASA announced Tuesday that it postponed a confirmation review of the Dragonfly mission earlier this month, citing "incredibly large uncertainties" in budgets for 2024 and 2025 that would be available for the mission. NASA has rescheduled the confirmation review for next spring, after the release of the fiscal year 2025 budget proposal. The decision came after the project replanned the mission based on new budget projections, pushing back its launch one year to July 2028.
