Scientific paper
A planetary simulation system is described together with preliminary results aimed at recreating Titan's atmospheric conditions specifically for the testing of the atmospheric structure instrument of the Huygens probe on the Cassini mission. The cylindrical test chamber has a usable space 80 cm long and 40 cm in diameter and is designed to work in the pressure range from about 0.1 microbar to 4 bar with temperatures ranging from 68 to 170 K. The pressure versus temperature profile of Titan's atmosphere is being simulated in a point by point fashion. Within the capabilities of the present set up are the condition present at altitudes higher than the inversion point in Titan's atmosphere at temperatures greater then 100 K with pressures of less then 40 mb.
