The above graphic, released by NASA and based on data acquired during the Titan A fly-by in October, shows the target landing site and the DISR instrument field-of-view and corresponding image resolution at different altitudes.
As Huygens descends through the atmosphere it will conduct a range of studies including analysis of the composition of the atmosphere and measurements of windspeed.
Updates on the descent will be posted on saturn.esa.int
