Huygens Probe Relay Data Subsystem Anomaly and RecoveryEuropean Space Agency Mission is designed to study the atmosphere and surface of Saturn's largest satellite, Titan carried by the Cassini spacecraft which provides: a) Power for support equipment; b) S-band antenna system; and c) Data storage and playback. Instruments/investigations include: 1) Aerosol Collector Pyrolyzer (ACP). Study of clouds and aerosols in the Titan atmosphere. 2) Descent Imager and Spectral Radiometer (DISR). Aerosol and cloud optical properties and spectroscopy measurements of Titan's atmosphere and surface. 3) Doppler Wind Experiment (DWE). Study of winds from their effect on the Probe during Titan descent. 4) Gas Chromatograph and Mass Spectrometer (GCMS). Chemical composition of gases and aerosols in Titan's atmosphere. 5) Huygens Atmospheric Structure Instrument (HASI). In-situ study of Titan atmospheric physical and electrical properties. 6) Surface Science Package (SSP). Physical properties of Titan's surface and related atmospheric properties.
