How to drop in on Titan (Forwarded)
In message , Andrew Yee
writes ESA News http://www.esa.int 27 August 2003 How to drop in on Titan You need to have thought of almost every eventuality when landing on a distant moon in a remote corner of the Solar System. You must have tested your spacecraft to its limits to be sure it will withstand the extreme conditions expected on Titan, a moon of Saturn. I may have missed something, but isn't it a bit late to be doing tests? |

How to drop in on Titan (Forwarded)
(Appologies for bottomposting.)
On Wed, 27 Aug 2003 13:55:30 -0400, Andrew Yee scribed these bits: ESA News http://www.esa.int 27 August 2003 How to drop in on Titan Descending through poisonous gas I thought that the gas in Titan 's atmosphere was not very poisonous at all. The main worry for humans would be its extreme cold, and if it was heated, the worry would be suffocation. Nitrogen, methane or ethane are not particularly toxic. Is there anything truly dangerous like cyanogen there? X X X X X |
