Huygens probe, descent to Titan
Huygens probe. Computer artwork of the Huygens probe (left) descending by parachute to the surface of Titan from the Cassini spacecraft (right). Titan is the largest moon of the ringed planet Saturn. Cassini was launched in October 1997 and will reach Saturn in July 2004. It will orbit Saturn for four years, studying the planet, its rings and its moons. The disc-shaped Huygens probe will enter Titans atmosphere in January 2005. Heat shields will protect and deflect heat from the probe during atmospheric entry, before a parachute opens to slow its descent. The probe is expected to transmit data from Titans surface for up to 30 minutes

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable Huygens probe, as it embarks on its daring descent to Titan, Saturn's largest moon. In this stunning computer artwork, we witness the Huygens probe (left) gracefully making its way towards the mysterious surface of Titan, while accompanied by the Cassini spacecraft (right). Launched in October 1997 and set to reach Saturn in July 2004, Cassini will spend four years meticulously studying the planet, its magnificent rings, and its intriguing moons. The disc-shaped Huygens probe is scheduled to enter Titan's atmosphere in January 2005. Equipped with heat shields to protect against scorching temperatures during atmospheric entry, this resilient explorer will then deploy a parachute to gently slow down its descent. Anticipation builds as scientists eagerly await data transmissions from Titans' enigmatic surface for an estimated duration of up to 30 minutes. This groundbreaking mission marks a significant milestone in planetary research and exploration. This awe-inspiring image captures not only the separation between Cassini and Huygens but also symbolizes humanity's relentless pursuit of knowledge about our vast universe. As we marvel at this extraordinary feat accomplished by an unmanned spacecraft approaching Titan with precision and grace, we are reminded once again of our insatiable curiosity that propels us further into uncharted territories within our solar system.
