Annotated Views of Titan from Different Altitudes
This poster shows a set of images acquired by the European Space Agency's
Huygens probe descent imager/spectral radiometer, in the four cardinal
directions (north, south, east, west), at five different altitudes above
Titan's surface. The images were taken on Jan. 14, 2005.
The Huygens probe was delivered to Saturn's moon Titan by the Cassini
spacecraft, which is managed by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory,
Pasadena, Calif. NASA supplied two instruments on the probe, the descent
imager/spectral radiometer and the gas chromatograph mass spectrometer.
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 mission for NASA's Science Mission Directorate, Washington, D.C. The
descent imager/spectral radiometer team is based at the University of
Arizona, Tucson.
