Titan and the Cassini-Huygens mission

The Cassini-Huygens mission has initiated its long exploration of the Saturnian system in July 2004, after a 7,5 year trek through our solar system. Since the Saturn Orbit Insertion, we have witnessed the great success of the Huygens mission, the probe descent through Titan's atmosphere, on January 14, 2005. One of the main targets of the Cassini-Huygens mission was Titan. The combined orbiter and probe data have been a precious tool in the description of Titan's atmosphere and surface returning wonderful new data whose analysis have revealed an amazing new world, 10 time further from our Sun and yet so close to our own planet. Indeed, Titan is currently the only exobiological system that we can study in reference to conditions which may have prevailed on the primitive Earth.
