Titan flyby overview
468
The first targeted flyby of Titan occurs on Tuesday, October 26, 2004 at 15:30 UTC (8:30 am Pacific time). Cassini&#39;s closest approach to Saturn&#39;s largest satellite is at an altitude of 1200 km (746 miles) above

On Jan. 14, the Huygens space probe is scheduled to land on Titan, a moon of Saturn. The Huygens probe is aboard the US spacecraft Cassini, which was launched on Oct. 15, 1997.

The Huygens probe has been released and is heading for Saturn&#39;s largest moon, Titan, scientists have confirmed. A signal that the robot lab had separated from its mothership, Cassini, was received by the US

University of Arizona scientists who have devoted their careers to exploring Saturn are about to get their best look yet at Titan, the mysterious moon that will serve as a &quot;slingshot&quot; 44 times during the Cassini spacecraft&#39;s four-year mission.

A new space probe has been sent out to try to discover the secrets of Titan, Saturn&#39;s largest moon. The American spacecraft Cassini, orbiting Saturn, has launched the probe Huygens on a course to reach Titan in about three weeks&#39; time.

The Cassini spacecraft has begun to beam close-up images of Saturn&#39;s giant moon Titan to Earth. Cassini reached the point of closest approach, about 2,000 kilometres, Tuesday morning and transmitted to NASA&#39;s deep-space network antenna in Madrid, Spain.

Cassini's Visual and Infrared Mapping Spectrometer (VIMS) has detected what appears to be a massive ethane cloud surrounding Titan's north pole. The cloud might be snowing ethane snowflakes into methane lakes below.

Summary - (Oct 29, 2004) This image of Titan was taken when Cassini reached the closest point of its flyby on October 26. At this point, it was only 1,600 km (994 miles) above the surface of Titan.

Cassini is flying to within 745 miles of Titan's surface and beaming back hundreds of images in a scouting trip that will lead to the Christmas Eve release of a probe for a parachute drop into Titan's atmosphere.

The European probe Huygens was due to descend to the surface of the Saturnian moon Titan, culminating a mission of more than seven years to explore one of the Solar System's great enigmas.

The spacecraft passed within 746 miles of Titan&#39;s surface and should send back pictures 100 times sharper than past views. Those images are to be released beginning today.
