Destination Titan

Synopsis: The Hugyens probe was the most distant vessel to land anywhere in our solar system. Stunning images and data were sent back from Titan, Saturn’s largest moon. The scientific instruments aboard the probe helped to paint a picture of an exotic new world, with methane seas, volcanoes and cliffs of ice. The first-ever pictures from Titan adorned the front pages of newspapers around the world, but the inside story of this extraordinary mission remains largely untold. Featuring never-before-seen footage and exclusive interviews, this is the incredible story of the small team of scientists who were the first to ‘touch the surface’ of this mysterious moon.
