Complete Huygens gallery
The Descent Imager Spectral Radiometer team, or DISR, have released the complete set of images from Titan (no high-res images?). There were 3 DISR cameras onboard Huygens so the images as shown as triplets. Explore the complete set of Huygens raw images. Since there was a failure with one of the 2 channels for transmitting data back to Cassini, we only have 350 images instead of the 700; apparently the command to instruct Cassini to start listening to channel A just wasn’t there (I guess 350 images is better than nothing!)
The onboard microphone has also captured some interesting sounds; expected to make top 40 anytime soon! Another interesting thing about the landing was the fact that the temperature inside Huygens was 25 Celsius despite the -180 outside; I wonder how…
Images will continue to get analysed in the next few days/weeks; the Hyugens blog should also have all the updates.
