Re: TITAN Probe

I thought I would open up this topic although I know its been discussed briefly elsewhere under a different heading.Its time to start discussing the way Titan should be investigated;the choice of probes to be sent.In my opinion I think the best way is to have nuclear powered Titan rovers;they  could  be more easily delivered to Titans surface than the Mars rovers due to the appreciable atmosphere on Saturns moon.Perhaps lower temperatures is the main obstacle for such a mission.A nuclear powered rover should do the trick! :idea:

Re: TITAN Probe

Titan was the topic of discussion for the OPAG Meeting held in Arlington, VA on October 6-7.  A couple of mission concepts were proposed.
