Titan Dragonfly

Dragonfly is an upcoming NASA mission to send a robotic rotorcraft to the surface of Titan, the largest moon of Saturn. It is to be launched in July 2028 and planned to arrive in 2034. If it is successful, it will be the first aircraft on Titan and is intended to make the first powered and fully controlled atmospheric flight on any natural satellite, with the intention of studying prebiotic chemistry and extraterrestrial habitability. It will then use its vertical takeoffs and landings (VTOL) capability to move between exploration sites.
