Titan is a moon of Saturn, most recently explored by the Cassini/Huygens probes. Titan is of huge interest to scientists, as the conditions in its atmosphere and on its surface bear a striking similarity to those of early Earth. It is thought that there is a realistic possibility that forms of primitive life could develop or may already have developed on the surface or in the oceans of Titan. As a result, there are plans to send further probes to Titan in order to further explore the conditions on its surface and in its oceans.The theme of Saturn s Moon Titan Owners Workshop Manual is how Titan works as a planet , with an emphasis on illustrating the features and processes of Titan where the conditions and materials can be exotic with familiar analogues from the Earth or other planets. The book includes numerous images from the field, the air and satellites to show comparable features on Earth or other planets.The final chapter discusses Titan in practical terms as an environment for humans in the future, bringing the place to life (somewhat in a science fiction style, but grounded in fact). Images of geographical and geological features on Earth will be used to illustrate the parallels with Titan, and the book will take a look at some of the innovative ideas for scientific probes including airships, landers, a submarine and drone being looked at to further explore Titan on future missions.The author was closely involved with the Cassini/Huygens project, which explored Titan during its mission to Saturn, and has also played a major role in the definition of a range of US and European concepts for future missions to Titan. He is currently working on a design study adopted by NASA for a quadcopter probe named Dragonfly , which it is hoped will be developed to explore Titan.
