Faculty of Science Presents Space Talks
|
The Dean of Science, Matt Davison invites you to join our Faculty Space & Earth Exploration experts for two space talks to celebrate our virtual Homecoming 2020.
The 1-hour session will be comprised of two 20 minute talks followed by 10 minute Q&A sessions. The Space talks include:
On June 27, 2019, NASA announced its next New Frontiers mission: Dragonfly. This audacious mission will send a rotorcraft to explore Saturn’s largest moon Titan, and evaluate its potential for prebiotic chemistry and (possibly) extraterrestrial life. The Dragonfly mission will also give us countless high-resolution view of this strangely Earth-like moon, showing us how rivers and sand dunes form on an icy moon at 94 K. In this presentation, I will provide a summary of the history of the Dragonfly mission, its scientific goals, and the next steps forward, from launch in 2026 to landing in 2034.
Please register in advance to receive the Zoom login details.
