Just as a factoid..
From a Huygens Document... 8 kbps for a nominal 137m profile equates to 65.76 Mbits - ( 8.2 Mbytes ) and a possible 43 mins of landed operations is 20.64 Mbits ( 2.6 Mbytes ) So - the maximum possible data load is around 86.4 Mbits (10.8 Mbytes ) However - I think that may be from a Document that predates the mission redesign. According to the flyby PDF from JPL there's a total of 276 mins of orbiter relay - which equates to 132.48 Mbits ( 16.56 Mbytes ) In all - it's about the same as a good Mars Odyssey UHF pass Doug |

The actual length of time Huygens will be transmitting will likely be less due to the battery, but you never know, so Cassini will be listening until it can't "see" Huygens anymore. -------------------- &@^^!% Jim!

I use hoy + hens (the ones producing eggs) as a good approximation.
Let's hope the landing is such a success that everybody in the future will be obliged to learn to pronounce it right
