1 HSWT#29, Florence February 28, 2005 DWE: Initial Results Michael Bird (Radiostronomisches Institut, Universität Bonn) And the DWE Team

2 28 February 20052HSWT#29, Florence DWE data: Huygens Mission 6 hours3.67 hours f f df/dt Channel A Channel B

3 28 February 20053HSWT#29, Florence No power!

4 28 February 20054HSWT#29, Florence DWE from Earth: Geometry Huygens antenna pointed only ~30° from Earth Better SNR than for Galileo Probe detection at Jupiter Probe velocity projection in direction to Earth nearly antiparallel to projection in direction to Orbiter

5 28 February 20055HSWT#29, Florence GBT Parkes

6 28 February 20056HSWT#29, Florence Huygens Radio Tracking Net 10:18 UTC-GRT12:30 UTC-GRT

7 28 February 20057HSWT#29, Florence GRT GBT Huygens! (~ -171 dBm) Flux density: 125 Jy

8 28 February 20058HSWT#29, Florence GBT Detection

10 28 February 200510HSWT#29, Florence Huygens Frequency: GBT + Parkes

11 28 February 200511HSWT#29, Florence Huygens Frequency: GBT + predicts

12 28 February 200512HSWT#29, Florence Huygens Frequency: Parkes + Predicts predicted impact

13 28 February 200513HSWT#29, Florence Parkes: Huygens Impact on Titan

14 28 February 200514HSWT#29, Florence GBT (1) Raw Doppler (2) Only Huygens Motion (3) Huygens Descent Velocity (4) Huygens Horizontal Velocity Doppler Components
