Your Reply: HTML is ON UBB Code is ON Smilies Legend	[QUOTE]Originally posted by Robert Pearlman: [B]From CNN: [URL=http://www.cnn.com/2005/TECH/space/01/14/huygens.titan/index.html]Huygens lands on Saturn moon[/URL] By Michael Coren <BLOCKQUOTE>[i]Huygens has arrived. The probe landed on the surface of Saturn's moon Titan this morning around 7:45 ET, reported elated scientists from the European Space Agency, who are eagerly awaiting data about the cloud-shrouded moon. "We have a signal. We know that Huygens is alive meaning the dream is alive," said Jean-Jacques Dordain director general for ESA which designed Huygens. "This is already an engineering success and we will see, later this afternoon, if this is a scientific success."[/i]</BLOCKQUOTE>From Spaceflight Now's Mission Status Center: [URL=http://spaceflightnow.com/cassini/status.html]Huygens survives landing on Titan[/URL] 1510 GMT (10:10 a.m. EST) <BLOCKQUOTE>[i]"This is clearly an engineering success and we know the probe has been successfully entering the atmosphere, has been descending on the parachute to the surface," said Jean-Pierre Lebreton, ESA's Huygens project scientist. "But at this moment we cannot say more. I mean, we have not seen the data. What we have seen is a tone, a signal, which was indicating that the probe was transmitting but we have not seen any real data yet. So I would like to wait a bit more to say whether we have a successful mission or not." The first Huygens data via the Cassini telemetry playback is expected in about an hour.[/i]</BLOCKQUOTE>[/B][/QUOTE]
