Scientific paper

The Huygens Probe is ESA's element of the joint Cassini/Huygens mission with NASA to the Saturnian system. Huygens will be carried to Saturn, where it will be released to enter the atmosphere of Titan. The Probe's primary scientific phase occurs during the 2 - 2.5 h parachute descent, when the six onboard instruments execute a complex series of measurements to study the atmosphere's chemical and physical properties. Measurements will also be conducted during the 3 min entry phase, and possibly on Titan's surface if Huygens survives impact. This paper provides a concise description of the payload.
