Scientific paper

A small altimetric and sounding radar instrument to observe and characterize the surface of Titan from a descending craft is proposed. It is a simple lightweight and cheap instrument with high scientific return. It could be very useful in gaining more information concerning the surface and subsurface of Titan. When associated with the same probe trajectory control, the ASTRA instrument could minimize the risk of landing in unsuitable terrain.
