ESA PR 03-2005. Today, after its seven-year journey through the Solar System on board the Cassini spacecraft, ESAââ‚ ¬ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¾Ã‚¢s Huygens probe has successfully descended through the atmosphere of Titan, SaturnÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šà ¬Ã¢â€žÂ¢s largest moon, and safely landed on its surface.

The first scientific data arrived at the European Space Operations Centre (ESOC) in Darmstadt, Germany, this afternoon at 17:19 CET. Huygens is mankindââ‚à ‚¬Ã¢â€žÂ¢s first successful attempt to land a probe on another a world in the outer Solar System. †œThis is a great achievement for Europe and its US partners in this ambitious international endeavour to explore the Saturnian system,ââ‚à ‚¬Ã‚ said Jean-Jacques Dordain, ESAââ‚ ¬ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¾Ã‚¢s Director General.
