Scientific paper

Possibilities of observing the surface of Titan through near infrared windows in the atmosphere are explored. Studies of Titan's near infrared spectrum are discussed with particular attention being given to the opacity of Titan's atmosphere, infrared spectra of candidate materials of Titan's surface, and ground based studies of Titan's surface. Instruments on board Cassini which will have the capability to observe Titan in the near infrared are presented together with what they may observe. These instruments include the descent imager/spectral radiometer, the Huygens probe and the visible infrared mapping spectrometer, and the imaging science subsystem.
