The Huygens probe is on target and set for its descent onto Titan, the large moon of Saturn on 14-JAN-05. For the past seven years the probe has ridden on the Cassini spacecraft, which arrived at Saturn in July.

If all goes according to plan, Huygens should have approx. two and a half hours to study its surroundings as it drifts down to the surface. Titan is unique in that it is the only planetary satellite with a substantial atmosphere.
