Scientific paper

The photochemistry of Titan's atmosphere is reviewed in the light of the Voyager Mission. The escape rate of hydrogen from Titan is controlled by photochemical production from hydrocarbons. Methane is irreversibly converted to less saturated, complex hydrocarbons which accumulate over geologic time on the surface to form an C2H6 ocean with dissolved CH4, N2, and trace organic molecules and solid C2H2 residing at the bottom of the ocean. Scientific problems which the Cassini Mission can address are discussed.
