Titan

Titan 4B

This is the Saharan desert of Titan.

We dropped a probe in the atmosphere of Titan.

This haze is ubiquitous. It's completely global and enveloping Titan.

Try to imagine what the surface of Titan might look like.

The coast phase will start about 22 days before the Titan encounter.

Now, another satellite also attracted a lot of attention, and that's Titan. And the reason Titan is particularly interesting, it's a satellite bigger than our moon, and it has an atmosphere.

And this is a Titan class ship in the space game, EVE Online.

And there is a lake scene in the south polar region of Titan.

And those are Titan and Enceladus. Titan is Saturn's largest moon, and, until Cassini had arrived there, was the largest single expanse of unexplored terrain that we had remaining in our solar system.

In the case of Titan 3 and Titan 4, the second stage is burned to depletion after payload separation and the collision contamination avoidance manoeuvre is conducted, generally to de orbit the stage.

Interrogators from Titan Corporation, all there, and they're getting no information about the insurgency.

It was so mystifying we couldn't make out what we were seeing on Titan.

This artist's impression turned into reality when a parachute landed on Titan, Saturn's giant moon.

But despite that cold, you could have rain falling down on the surface of Titan.

What the probe came down in was basically the Titan equivalent of a mud flat.

There are other Titan transtages near GSO that may still have the potential to explode.

And so it turns out that methane is to Titan what water is to the Earth.

It's dark. High noon on Titan is as dark as deep earth twilight on the Earth.

So like the equivalent, the Titan equivalent, of tar, or oil, or what we didn't know what.

This is a picture of Titan, backlit by the Sun, with the rings as a beautiful backdrop.

If the capsule survives the landing, it will also carry out measurements on Titan apos s surface.

On 6 November 2004, Cassini will release the disc shaped Huygens probe towards Titan. D. Remote sensing

So if you were on Mars sorry, on Titan, you don't have to worry about four dollar gasoline.

After separation of the HUYGENS probe from the CASSINI spacecraft, the probe reaches Titan and enters its atmosphere.

CASSINI HUYGENS is an interplanetary NASA ESA ASI mission for the study of Jupiter and its moon Titan.

Licklider was a computer science titan who had a profound effect on the development of technology and the Internet.

That is the view that we had of the surface of Titan before we got there with Cassini, and I can tell you that what we have found on Titan, though it is not the same in detail, is every bit as fascinating as that story is.

The last stage of the Titan launcher is normally disposed of by leaving it on a ballistic re entry trajectory.

And these molecules high up in the atmosphere of Titan get broken down, and their products join together to make haze particles.

But this is what we suspected. And these molecules, especially methane and ethane, can be liquids at the surface temperatures of Titan.

So, this is the picture you would have at the window of Titanian Airlines as you fly across the surface of Titan.

The CASSINI spacecraft will be launched from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station (CCAFS) in October 1997 with a Titan V Centaur launcher.

The ESA built Huygens probe that will parachute into the thick atmosphere of Titan is carrying another six packages of scientific instruments.

The United States Space Command telescope on Maui, Hawaii accidentally observed the breakup of a Titan 4 transtage (1968 081E) in February 1992.

More recently (in February 1994), a Titan 2 transtage (1967 066G) displayed an abrupt orbit discontinuity that indicated that an explosive event had occurred.

The joint NASA ESA mission CASSINI HUYGENS to Saturn and its moon Titan, planned to be launched in 1997, will also include a lander.

The United States Space Command telescope on Maui, in Hawaii, accidentally observed the break up of a Titan transtage (1968 081E) in February 1992.

So it seems that the liquids, for some reason we don't understand, or during at least this season, are apparently at the poles of Titan.

This, we later found out, is, in fact, a crater, but there are very few craters on the surface of Titan, meaning it's a very young surface.

The ACP experiment is designed to collect, heat, and analyze atmospheric aerosols in the Titan stratosphere and upper troposphere during the descending phase of the HUYGENS capsule.

When the stage has a limited orbital lifetime, the commercial Titan 2 stage is modified so that it will not overpressurize during the period before atmospheric re entry.

Planetary scientist Carolyn Porco shows images from the Cassini voyage to Saturn, focusing on its largest moon, Titan, and on frozen Enceladus, which seems to shoot jets of ice.
