Huygens' descent map (2)
|
Caption NASA originale:"For about two hours, the probe will fall by parachute from an altitude of 160 Km (99 miles) to Titan's surface. During the descent the DISR and a few other science instruments will send data about the moon's atmosphere and surface back to the Cassini spacecraft for relay to Earth. The DISR will take pictures as the probe slowly spins and some of these will be made into panoramic views of Titan's surface.
The first map (PIA-06172) shows expected coverage by the Descent Imager/Spectral Radiometer side-looking imager and two downward-looking imagers - one providing medium-resolution and the other high-resolution coverage. The planned coverage by the medium- and high-resolution imagers is the subject of this map (PIA-06173)".
