Scientific paper

Aerosol sampling during the descent of a Titan probe, as proposed in the Cassini mission, is recommended. The preferred analytical method is pyrolysis in which the gas products can be identified by the mass spectrometer and/or mass spectrometer-gas chromatograph instruments which will be part of the probe payload. Sampling aerosols in the region 60 to 30 km seems the best way to determine the nature and importance of the organic polymers incorporated in the aerosols of the condensed clouds. Another region for sampling is envisaged in the upper part of the atmosphere (200 to 70 km). Studies on the collecting plates, and the pneumatic and mechanical systems are described.
