Huygens Titan Mosaic #2 Target Name:   Titan Spacecraft:   Huygens Probe Instrument:   Descent Imager/Spectral Radiometer Produced by:   NASA/JPL/ESA/University of Arizona Copyright:  NASA Copyright Free Policy Cross Reference:   PIA07871 Date Taken:   14 January 2005 Date Released:  13 May 2005 Related Documents Titan Huygens Lands on Titan Cassini At Saturn Saturn Download Options Name Type Width x Height Size PIA07871.jpg JPEG 640 x 613 60K PIA07871.jpg JPEG 1563 x 1497 187K PIA07871.tif TIFF 1563 x 1497 2.342 MB This mosaic from the Descent Imager/Spectral Radiometer camera on the European Space Agency's Huygens probe combines 17 image triplets, projected from an altitude of 800 meters (2,625 feet). The area covered is approximately 1,300 meters (4,265 feet) across (north at the top of the image). The smallest visible objects visible are less than five meters (16 feet) across, and the dark channels are 30 to 40 meters (98 to 131 feet) wide. The images were then stitched together using one of several projection algorithms (in this case 'gnomonic') to produce a full mosaic. The images used to construct this mosaic were taken on Jan. 14, 2005. The Descent Imager/Spectral Radiometer is one of two NASA-funded instruments on the probe.
