Saturn´s giant moon Titan is likely to motivate more detailed in-situ exploration after its reconnaissance by Cassini/Huygens in 2004. In particular, astrobiological investigations of prebiotic material on the surface, and detailed meteorological, oceanographic and geological observations will require proximity to the surface at a range of locations. These goals suggest a mobile instrument platform, rather than an orbiter alone or a set of landers. Titan´s thick atmosphere and low gravity makes it appealing from an aeronautical standpoint - a range of options spanning the full spectrum of capability and technical challenge can be contemplated, from balloon through airship to aircraft and helicopter. Early mission concepts are already being explored, and advanced technology developments are beginning. Notable challenges for Titan are on-board autonomy (since both the light-time and the likely geometric communications latency will preclude teleoperation) and the ability to access surface material in a safe manner. These challenges, and current developments and plans, will be discussed.
