here is an article posted yesterday (Friday)
http://www.rednova.com/news/display/?id=96361
what other articles do you have about this?
a flyby of Titan by the Cassini craft
releasing a small probe, Huygens,
intended to parachute to surface (possibly liquid)
Cassini will come within 1200 km of Titan
Huygens will be released during the flyby and will
take several weeks to approach the moon
Huygens descent thru Titan atmosphere is scheduled
to occur in late December, around christmas
the article points out that this is the first attempt to
land a probe on any moon besides earth's.
No probe has been landed on a Mars moon or on a Jovian moon.
have there been recent threads about Cassini, and in particular
about the Huygens probe? Anyone have links to other
current articles?
