New Frontiers Program
NASA's New Frontiers Program supports focused, principal-investigator-led planetary investigations selected through competitive Announcements of Opportunity. Teams drawn from research institutions, industry, and government carry missions from scientific objectives and instrument selection through operations and data analysis, with cost, schedule, and performance responsibilities held by the principal investigator. Its missions include New Horizons, Juno, and OSIRIS-REx, whose Bennu samples reached Earth in 2023; Dragonfly is a future Titan investigation rather than a completed flight.
