Mission Name: HuygensThis interdisciplinary science (IDS) investigation will study Titan's aerosols, photochemistry, and general circulation. The primary science goals are to: (1) investigate the temperature structure of Titan's atmosphere; (2) examine the spatial distribution of Titan's minor atmospheric components, especially organic molecules; (3) determine the spatial distribution of aerosols and clouds in Titan's atmosphere; (4) establish noble gas abundances and isotopic rations in the atmosphere, especially the ratio of deuterium to hydrogen; and, (5) construct a three-dimensional atmospheric circulation model for Titan.
