Abstract

European Space Agency (ESA) has made public the data from four of the six experiments on the Huygens probe, which landed on the surface of Saturn's moon Titan in January 2005.Data is available from the following instruments: the Huygens Atmospheric Structure Instrument, which measured the physical and electrical properties of the moon's atmosphere; the DopplerWind Experiment, which studied the direction and strength of Titan's winds; the Aerosol Collector and Pyrolyser (ACP), which collected aerosols; and the Gas Chromatograph and Mass Spectrometer, which analyzed data from the ACP and measured the chemical composition of the atmosphere.
