The joint NASAESA CassiniHuygens mission promises to return four and possibly more years of unparalleled scientific data from the solar systems most exotic planet the ringed gas giant Saturn Larger than Galileo with a much greater communication bandwidth Cassini can accomplish in a single flyby what Galileo returned in a series of passes Cassini explores the Saturn environment in three dimensions using gravity assists to climb out of the equatorial plane to look down on the rings from above to image the aurora and to study polar magnetospheric processes such as fieldaligned currents Since the radiation belt particle fluxes are much more benign than those at Jupiter Cassini can more safely explore the inner regions of the magnetosphere The spacecraft approaches the planet closer than Galileo could and explores the inner moons and the rings much more thoroughly than was possible at Jupiter This book is the second volume in a three volume set that describes the CassiniHuygens mission This volume describes the in situ investigations on the Cassini orbiter plasma spectrometer ion and neutral mass spectrometer energetic charged and neutral particle spectrometer magnetometer radio and plasma wave spectrometer and the cosmic dust analyzer This book is of interest to all potential users of the CassiniHuygens data to those who wish to learn about the planned scientific return from the CassiniHuygens mission and those curious about the processes occurring on this most fascinating planet A third volume describes the remote sensing investigations on the orbiter

For twentyfive years following the Voyager mission scientists speculated about Saturns largest moon a mysterious orb clouded in orange haze Finally in 2005 the CassiniHuygens probe successfully parachuted down through Titans atmosphere all the while transmitting images and data In the early 1980s when the two Voyager spacecraft skimmed past Titan Saturns largest moon they transmitted back enticing images of a mysterious world concealed in a seemingly impenetrable orange haze Titan Unveiled is one of the first general interest books to reveal the startling new discoveries that have been made since the arrival of the CassiniHuygens mission to Saturn and Titan Ralph Lorenz and Jacqueline Mitton take readers behind the scenes of this mission Launched in 1997 Cassini entered orbit around Saturn in summer 2004 Its formidable payload included the Huygens probe which successfully parachuted down through Titans atmosphere in early 2005 all the while transmitting images and dataand scientists were startled by what they saw One of those researchers was Lorenz who gives an insiders account of the scientific communitys first close encounter with an alien landscape of liquid methane seas and turbulent orange skies Amid the challenges and frayed nerves new discoveries are made including methane monsoons equatorial sand seas and Titans polar hood Lorenz and Mitton describe Titan as a world strikingly like Earth and tell how Titan may hold clues to the origins of life on our own planet and possibly to its presence on others Generously illustrated with many stunning images Titan Unveiled is essential reading for anyone interested in space exploration planetary science or astronomy A new afterword brings readers up to date on Cassinis ongoing exploration of Titan describing the many new discoveries made since 2006
