Scientific paper

We shall report observations by the Cassini magnetometer experiment during the TA encounter of the Cassini spacecraft on October 26, 2004 with a minimum altitude of 1200 km. This is the first close encounter with Titan after the Voyager 1 flyby of November 12, 1980. Because of the Saturnian local time of 10.6 H, i.e. just before noon, Titan could be found inside the outer magnetosphere of Saturn or less probably in the magnetosheath or with much lower probability even in the solar wind. In the magnetosphere we shall be able to investigate the wake and tail forming region at intermediate northern latitudes on the inbound and northbound flyby trajectory. We shall also study boundaries,draping features etc. In addition we shall look for evidence for a magnetic field of internal origin.
