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.




SSP - Surface Science Package



Overview

The Huygens Surface Science Package (SSP) consists of nine separate sensors that are designed to measure a wide range of physical properties of Titan's lower atmosphere, surface, and sub-surface. Although the SSP was primarily designed to sense properties of the surface, some of its sensors also made measurements of the atmosphere along the probe's entry path and complement the data gathered by other experiments on the Huygens probe.
