    VideoTalk: A feat of engineering

    Once released from the Cassini spacecraft, the Huygens probe will start its descent through the Titan atmosphere. A big heat shield protects Huygens instruments and three parachutes open in sequence to slow the probe down. Learn more about this incredible engineering challenge in VideoTalk
