I realize the real-time transmission of the probe data is not possible since the high-gain antenna will be pointed toward Titan to receive the data, but couldn't the low-gain antenna on the side of Cassini send a message to Earth indicating whether or not Huygens survived its descent throught Titan's atmosphere?

Thanks Doug.

it's hoped that a signal ( but no telemetry ) may well be seen from earth, of Huygens - and using multiple antennae a trajectory can be calculated from the doppler shift measured.


Wow blink.gif I didn't realize that was possible from such a large distance and a weak signal from Huygens.
