Find a Node - Use these links to navigate to any of the 8 publicly accessible PDS Nodes.

This bar indicates that you are within the PDS enterprise which includes 6 science discipline nodes and 2 support nodes which are overseen by the Project Management Office at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC). Each node is led by an expert in the subject discipline, supported by an advisory group of other practitioners of that discipline, and subject to selection and approval under a regular NASA Research Announcement.




HASI - Huygens Atmospheric Structure Instrument

Overview

The Huygens Atmospheric Structure Instrument (HASI) was designed to measure the physical properties of Titan's atmosphere during the entry and descent phase and at the surface. Specifically, it measured atmospheric deceleration, pressure, temperature, and electrical conductivity, ion conductivity, acoustic noise, and radar echoes below 60 km altitude.

NOTE: Please read the ERRATA.TXT file for information about errata and updates to the HASI data set. Version 1.1 of the data set is the version that is currently available on these web pages.

Data Example
