A proposed mission to Titan using NASA\ A proposed mission to Titan using NASA's NEXT ion engine
Posted by: benwl

Video duration: 157 seconds

A proposed mission to Saturn's moon Titan using NASA's NEXT ion engine. The NEXT ion thruster is capable of delivering 236 milliNewtons of force over the course of the multi-year mission to deliver a satellite and a lander to Titan.
For the Titan mission, both an orbiter and a lander could be sent to the distant moon, which lies more than 1 billion kilometres from the Sun.
