This is the latest news we have received from the ASSA regarding the Huygens.

The Green Bank radio observatory (USA) announced a few minutes ago
that they have detected the carrier signal from the Huygens
spacecraft. This means that Huygens has survived entry into Titan's
atmosphere, jettisoned its heatshields and is now descending on
parachute.

Meanwhile the Cassini spacecraft is out of contact with Earth, because
it should have turned its main antenna towards Huygens to receive its
data.

The carrier signal by itself conveys only the news that Huygens is
"alive" and has survived long enough to open its parachute. However
the carrier signal is being tracked by numerous radio telescopes;
from which scientists will be able to pinpoint Huygen's position (+/-
1km) throughout its descent. This in turn will reveal some
information about Titan's winds.

Hopefully we will be able to see the first pictures and other goodies
while eating our Weetbix tomorrow morning. See

I trust I am not duplicating anything here.

Cheers.
