OCTOCHOMPERS AT THE READY!
The NASA-led Dragonfly mission to Titan is cleared to progress to the final design.
Dragonfly is a bonkers (in a good way) 8-rotor craft that will be able to fly on the Saturn moon, Titan, due to the moon's thick atmosphere. It'll visit a bunch of places and see if anything sorta life-y or useful-to-life is around. JAXA are designing the seismometer to peek below Titan's surface!
