This mosaic of images taken by the Cassini spacecraft as it approached
Saturn shows the surface features of Titan, from the dark "H" on the left
to the bright observation area at the south pole on the right. Visible in
the center is the location where the spacecraft's Huygens probe will
descend in January 2005.
The Cassini-Huygens mission is a cooperative project of NASA, the
European Space Agency and the Italian Space Agency. The Jet Propulsion
Laboratory, a division of the California Institute of Technology in
Pasadena, manages the Cassini-Huygens mission for NASA's Office of Space
Science, Washington, D.C. The Cassini orbiter and its two onboard cameras,
were designed, developed and assembled at JPL. The imaging team is based
at the Space Science Institute, Boulder, Colo.
