Cassini-Huygens and the Titan Probe

Interesting Sky at Night just now.

Apparently the scientist have retrieved almost all the 'lost'data using other communication channels from the probe, and so theres a good chance of some more pictures and a bit more about the passage down through the atmosphere.

You can see the programme streamed on the BBC website
 
Just found this clip of the probe's final descent . The graphics and ambient 'music' come from the onboard tracking instruments.

That's pretty cool, almost like a display readout from Star Trek!!! But those sounds are pretty intriguing, I wonder if they're used for associating the received date with the visual readout? Like using different audio frequencies for the relavent pieces of data... :)
