Summary
The Huygens Atmospheric Structure Instrument (HASI) is a multisensor package which has been designed to measure the physical quantities characterizing the atmosphere of Titan. After a short summary of the available information on Titan’s atmosphere, the HASI is described as well as its capabilities to improve our knowledge of the larger Saturnian satellite.
