新华社巴黎１２月２５日电（记者杨骏）格林尼治时间１２月２５日凌晨，欧洲航天局制造的“惠更斯”号探测器终于与环土星运行的美国“卡西尼”号飞船成功分离，并准备飞赴土星的卫星——土卫六。此前，“惠更斯”号已在美国“卡西尼”号飞船内“沉睡”了７年。
欧洲航天局发布的消息说，按计划，“惠更斯”号探测器将于明年１月１４日穿越土卫六的大气层，并在这颗土星最大的卫星上着陆，进行实地探测。土卫六的个头比水星和冥王星都要大，此前的空间探测显示，该卫星拥有含氮和甲烷的稠密大气。在太阳系各大行星及其卫星中，只有地球和土卫六的大气中富含氮。如果一切顺利，这次任务将为人类首次揭开该神秘卫星的面纱，并为人类生命之谜提供线索。
耗资３３亿美元的“卡西尼—惠更斯”探索计划由美国宇航局、欧洲航天局和意大利航天局联合实施，美国和１７个欧洲国家的约２６０名科学家参加了这项探索计划，法国阿尔卡特空间公司负责“惠更斯”号探测器的主要制造工作。“卡西尼”号飞船于１９９７年１０月携带着“惠更斯”号发射升空，迄今已遨游太空７年，行程约３５亿公里。

The Huygens Probe, supplied by the European Space Agency, is another advanced spacecraft system that is a crucial part of the overall Cassini mission.
This probe system consists of the probe itself, which will descend to Titan, and the probe support equipment (PSE), which will remain attached to the orbiting spacecraft. The PSE includes the electronics necessary to track the probe to recover the data gathered during its descent, and to process and deliver the data to the orbiter, from which it will be transmitted or "downlinked" to the ground. The system has a number of engineering subsystems, some of which are distributed between the probe and the PSE. The Huygens probe payload also consists of a complement of six scientific instruments, which are each designed to perform a different function as the probe descends into Titan's murky, mysterious atmosphere. These subsystems and instruments are crucial for the Huygens probe to carry out its mission of exploring the mysterious atmosphere and surface of Titan.
The Huygens probe has six complex instruments aboard that will ensure that data from Titan will be received by the Cassini spacecraft as well as by Earth, after the probe descends into Titan's mysterious atmosphere. The six instruments are: ^^ 关注！ 有老大的关注，一定会成功登陆！希望它别象它的欧洲兄弟“猎兔犬2号”那样
无影无踪。。。 :roll:
欧洲做的登陆器很让人不放心。。。。 :lol: 不好说呀，别把提坦当论坛了，又是拍砖。 ^^
期待好消息，7年的等待呀。 就是！我也是从97年“卡西尼”号发射前就开始关注这个计划的！
尤其希望“惠更斯”号探测器能成功登陆。。
最好能发现那上面原始的生命形态！！ 8) Merry Christmas!
To Huygens Probe and the dead person who took posession of this name! :|
