Highlights of ESA’s Huygens mission   This image is an artist's impression of the descent and landing sequence followed by ESA's Huygens probe that landed on Titan. The event was the culmination of a 22-year process of planning, organising and cooperation between ESA and NASA.  The Huygens landing site projected on to Titan's disc. The co-ordinates of the landing are: 192.3º West; 10.3º South (southern hemisphere of Titan).
The background image, adapted from the NASA JPL Photojournal image PIA06201, was taken by the NASA/ESA/ASI Cassini orbiter's ISS imaging camera during the Titans fly-by of 26 October 2004. Release date: 13 January 2006 |
