Destination Titan

It was a voyage of exploration like no other. Intrigued by the similarity of Titan's atmosphere to that of a primordial Earth, scientists in 1997 sent a probe to Saturn's largest moon to test its surface for conditions that might harbor life. The program tells the story of the Cassini-Huygens probe and the engineering team who built it: a group of graduate students, led by researcher John Zernecki, working on a shoestring budget.

This fascinating program tells the story of the Cassini-Huygens probe and the engineering team who built it-a group of graduate students, led by researcher John Zernecki, working on a shoestring budget. Despite setbacks and a major last-minute glitch, the endeavor succeeded beyond expectations, yielding remarkable images of Titan's mountains, rock fields, and seas of liquid methane. With stunning re-creations of the probe's interplanetary trip, the video documents the joint NASA/ESA mission. Produced by the Open University. (60 minutes) A streaming videorecording."
