The Dragonfly mission will launch in 2026 and arrive at Titan in 2034.
Revealing the mission in an announcement live-streamed online, Jim Bridenstine, Nasa administrator, said the space agency was "pushing the boundaries of human knowledge and expanding the limits of technology".

Here's another video from Nasa, teasing today's announcement, to get you even more hyped:
As a reminder, here's the link to watch along live. (Nothing has started yet and won't for another five minutes – if Nasa is good at anything, then it's countdowns!)
We're running through the previous missions launched as part of this programme. First up: New Horizons, which was sent to examine Pluto and did plenty of other work, too. Next, Juno, which has been looking at Juno for the last couple of years. Then, Osiris-Rex, which is bringing a sample from an asteroid back to Earth in 2023.
The next new frontiers mission will be Dragonfly, exploring Saturn's biggest moon, Titan.
Nasa scientist Lori Glaze says one of the most exciting things here is that Titan has the ingredients for life – in fact, Dragonfly could find signatures of alien life.
It will be the first time Nasa will ever have gone to the moon of another planet.
