In this paper, the selection of the nominal Titan Probe trajectory is reported. The baseline is an atmospheric entry at the first in-bound Titan encounter after Saturn orbit insertion. With the fixed-mounted decelerator subsonic velocity will be reached at an altitude of about 180 km. The Probe descent from the beginning of the subsonic regime to impact will last about 3 h. The low impact velocity of 3 - 4 m/s opens some limited prospects to further operate some instruments after reaching the surface of Titan and transmit data to the Orbiter.
