The mission, part of NASA's competitive New Frontiers Program, beat out another possible project to collect samples from a nearby comet. It's the first time NASA will fly a multi-rotor vehicle for science on another planet.
Dragonfly will launch in 2026 and arrive in 2034.
Titan is a haze-covered world that has lakes of methane and an ocean below the surface. Scientists have long considered Titan an attractive place to study whether it would be capable of supporting microbial life.
Titan was last explored by the Cassini-Huygens mission. In 2017, the Cassini spacecraft plunged into Saturn, ending two decades of exploration.
