A view of Huygens' probable landing site based on initial, best-guess
estimates. Scientists on the Huygens Descent Imager/ Spectral Radiometer
(DISR) science team are still working to refine the exact location of the
probe's landing site, but they estimate that it lies within the white
circle shown in this image.
The Descent Imager/Spectral Radiometer is one of two NASA instruments on
the probe.
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 Science Mission
Directorate, Washington, D.C. The Cassini orbiter and its two onboard
cameras were designed, developed and assembled at JPL. The Descent
Imager/Spectral team is based at the University of Arizona, Tucson,
Ariz.
