It is clear from the experiments that a variety of complex organic models can be produced by lightning in a Titan-like gas mixture. The dominant products were found to be acetylene and hydrogen cyanide, with smaller amounts of many other species. Any aerosol produced by lightning inititated process will consist of a complex mixture of organic compounds, many of which should easily be identified by pyrolytic gas chromatography. Work will continue to expand the data base of molecules produced by lightning and other processes in order to assist in the design of appropriate analytical instruments for the upcoming Saturn/Titan mission and any other planetary probes.
