When is the space probe landing on Europa?

I assume you mean Titan, and it's next January.

I was just listening to the "ringside chat" from NASA TV (June 30, 2 PM PDT) and the JPL honcho said to reporters that mission raw images will be available for viewing. He mentioned a web site, but I missed it -- probably the main NASA Cassini page. He said look for "raw images". Keep your eyes open. Post it if you find it.

He said the suggestion had come from above, and one purpose was to get people as involved with Cassini-Huygens as they were with MER.

I had just logged to post the link when I saw your post! =D> =D>

How did I say Europa? This has to be one of the dumbest things I've said... ops:

Naw, you were probably just thinking of 2010. They landed a probe on Europa in that movie.

BURN SUCCESSFUL! \/ =D>
Cassini pulled off the burn and the ring crossing with no trouble!
On NASA's website, there are more details than I remember. But the important thing is, we made it! Now time for Cassini to go where 3 probes have been before! \/
The next excitement will undoubtly come when Huygens lands on Titan. I'm betting on there being ponds of hydrocarbons. What do you folks think?
Anyone know how Titan's atmosphere is so dense, even though its slightly smaller than Jupiter's Ganymede? That's always puzzled me. Maybe it's the cold. So cold out there!

I think it's going to land, and then something's going to eat it.

Cassini will be one million kilometers from Saturn at 03:13 UT on 2004-Jul-02 in SCET.

Thanks for the link, but now that Cassini is in orbit I think it's high time to start a new thread.

Probably right. But we can always change the title to "Cassini is now in orbit of Saturn". However, there seem to be plenty of Cassini threads going around. Depending on how popular Saturn gets, we'll see if a new forum develops. Probably could put it in place of the Planet X forum, seeing how that one is a bit dated now.
In the meantime, keep on charging Cassini!

Our Jim Oberg wrote a nice article about how the Doppler problem of Huygens was discovered and fixed.

WOW!

Awesome article, great story (hopefully now with a happy ending).

Thanks, kucharek.

Just seen the new pictures of Titan on the news today. They think they can see land with the methane sea lapping up against it?

The news lady said 'fascinating.'

Hardly surprising as she's married to David Scott of Apollo 15!! :P

Can't wait to see what Huygens finds..

Ice landscapes coloured orange.

Green sky.

Green rain falling slowly in huge raindrops the size or grapefruits.

A true alien world.

colossal crater and a canyon system are just two of the perplexing features on the surface of Saturn’s moon Tethys.
