The joint NASA-ESA Cassini-Huygens mission to Saturn is the most
ambitious planetary mission since the VEGA mission to Venus and
Halley in 1985/86 and the Viking arbiters and landers to Mars in
1976.
This volume describes the mission, the orbiter spacecraft, the
Titan atmospheric probe and the mission design in articles written
by its project scientists and engineering team. These are followed
by five articles from each of the discipline working groups
discussing the existing knowledge of the Saturnian system and their
goals for the mission.
Finally, each of the Huygens entry probe instrument teams
describes their instruments and measurement objectives. These
instruments include an atmospheric structure instrument, an aerosol
pyrolyser, an imager/radiometer, a gas chromatograph, a surface
science package and a radio science investigation. This book is of
interest to all potential users of the Cassini-Huygens data, to
those who wish to learn about the planned scientific return from
the Cassini-Huygens mission and those curious about the processes
occurring on this most fascinating planet.
