Huygens: Alive And Well

The joint ESA/NASA Huygens-Cassini mission, launched on October 15th 1997 from Canaveral using a Delta rocket, will carry the ESA probe towards Saturn's intriguing moon Titan. The probe has been developed to parachute through the atmosphere of Titan and analyse pressure, temperature and chemical constituency. The probe will also send back information on the type of surface it finally encounters. This film provides a summary of the mission so far, showing how data received has reassured scientists that all of Huygens' instruments are functioning as planned.
