OVERVIEW This lesson focuses on Saturn’s largest moon Titan — what we know now and what we hope to discover Students are introduced to Titan and the Huygens probe in two different ways First they listen to a narrative “told” by the Huygens probe entitled “Memoirs of a Spacecraft ”
The Huygens Probe is part of the NASA/ESA/ASI Cassini/Huygens mission to Saturn and Titan The spacecraft was launched on 15 October 1997 from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station Florida USA It will reach its target Saturn and will go into orbit around it on 1 July 2004 Huygens will be released from the Saturn Orbiter on 25 December 2004
Cassini and Huygens science instruments were selected in 1990 and Cassini/Huygens was launched in 1997 After a 7-year 2 2 billion-mile journey from Earth Cassini arrived at Saturn and dropped a parachuted probe named Huygens to study the atmosphere and surface of Titan
The Huygens ASI is a multi-sensor package resulting from an international cooperation it has been designed to measure the physical quantities characterizing Titan’s atmosphere during the Huygens probe mission On 14th January 2005 HASI will measure acceleration pressure temperature and electrical
What happened to the Huygens probe?
- The Huygens probe successfully detached from NASA's Cassini orbiter to begin a three-week journey to Saturn's moon Titan. The Huygens probe, built and managed by the European Space Agency (ESA), was bolted to Cassini and rode along during the nearly seven-year journey to Saturn largely in "sleep" mode.
What did Huygens find on Titan?
- Huygens was designed to investigate Titan’s atmosphere, including chemical properties, wind, temperature, and pressure profiles from about 100 miles (170 kilometers) down to the moon’s surface. The probe was not designed to survive past landing although scientists did not rule out the possibility.
What is Huygens?
- French beauty apothecary HUYGENS celebrates the profound effect of natural and organic ingredients on the body and mind. Decadent fragrances and essential oil blends are rooted in plant life and flora to meld aromatic aromas with products that really work.
Where did Christiaan Huygens go to school?
- Christiaan Huygens was born in The Hague, The Netherlands, 14 April 1629 as the second son of Constantijn and Susanna Huygens. His father, from a wealthy family, was a diplomat in service of the House of Orange. In his younger years Christiaan did not go to school but was taught by teachers at his home.
