This bar indicates that you are within the PDS enterprise which includes 6 science discipline nodes and 2 support nodes which are overseen by the Project Management Office at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC). Each node is led by an expert in the subject discipline, supported by an advisory group of other practitioners of that discipline, and subject to selection and approval under a regular NASA Research Announcement.




DISR - Descent Imager and Spectral Radiometer



Overview

The Huygens Descent Imager and Spectral Radiometer (DISR) made measurements of solar radiation as it traveled through Titan's atmosphere and landed on the surface. Its suite of seven instruments includes photodiodes, a charge-coupled device (CCD), and two near-infrared linear array detectors. The interaction of sunlight with Titan's surface and atmospheric aerosols and gases will provide insight into the nature of Titan's surface and the composition, meteorology, thermal balance, and clouds and aerosols in Titan's atmosphere.
