For anyone else in the UK, BBC will be showing a specail programm about Huygens on January 14th:
Stardate: Mission to Titan 11:30pm - 12:30am BBC2 VIDEO Plus+: 34627 Subtitled, Widescreen Adam Hart-Davis and Dr Lucie Green present live coverage from mission control in Germany of the attempt to land Europe's Huygens probe on Titan, one of Saturn's moons and described as the most earth-like object in the solar system. Scientists hope that exploring Titan might reveal how conditions fit for life could have developed here. |

For anyone in Europe:
There will be ESA TV transmissions on ASTRA 1G 19 degrees East Transponder 1.108 (DVB-MPEG-2, MCPC) Polarisation vertical, Frequency 12551,5 MHz Symbol Rate 22000 MS/sec FEC 5/6 ESA (Astravision) Beginning with 11.1.2005 (or 12.1.2005) test tranmission (color bar) will begin in order to tune receivers. Transmissions re Hughens will start on 14.1.2005 08:00 GMT (with some breals until midnight) Details will be published on 11.1.2005 late evening on the website http://television.esa.int In central Europe, reception will be possible with usual dishes, in northern Europe, North Africa, Turkey etc. I guess antenna of about 1,2 m diameter or more will be requried. The old Astra transponder 10832 MHz , horizontal polarisation which was used from 2003-2005 wikk be on air last time on january 14th !! (transmission on both Tx) Beginning with 15th january 2005, there willl be only transmissions on Polarisation vertical, Frequency 12551,5 MHz. On january 14th, from 10:00 - 11:15 UTC there may be "real time" information about the detection of the Huygens signal by the VLBI antennas around the Pacific. |

QUOTE (NorbertGiesinger @ Jan 8 2005, 04:13 PM) On january 14th, from 10:00 - 11:15 UTC there may be "real time" information about the detection of the Huygens signal by the VLBI antennas around the Pacific. Im hoping one of these Earth based radio telescopes can give us an indication of success or other wise. I'm not going to get excited yet, not after what happened to Beagle 2
