International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 17-20, 1994 / Town & Country Hotel and Conference Center, San Diego, California === Current theories concerning the surface of Titan postulate the existence of large,
possibly oceanic, bodies of liquid ethane/ammonia plus various other chemicals.
ESA's Huygens probe is designed to gather oceanographic data on Titan. If the
postulated oceans or lakes do exist, follow up missions of an oceanographic nature
will be planned. This paper provides a concept for a modified XBT (eXpendable
Bathymetric Thermograph) probe design that will provide more data than just
temperature as a function of depth. By judicious use of acoustic telemetering links,
data on the sound speed profile and constituents of the ocean can be obtained. The
exo-oceanographic data collected will have important ramifications for oceanographic
studies on Earth. |
