La sonda Huygens de la ESA hizo historia el d\u00eda de hoy al posarse con \u00e9xito en la superficie de Tit\u00e1n, la luna m\u00e1s grande de Saturno.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Las se\u00f1ales recibidas esta tarde en el ESOC (Centro Europeo de Operaciones Espaciales) de Darmstadt, Alemania, demuestran que la sonda con forma de platillo super\u00f3 la candente entrada en la densa atm\u00f3sfera de Tit\u00e1n.<\/p>\n

Ha sido el primer y afortunado intento de la humanidad de colocar una sonda en un mundo del tama\u00f1o de un planeta, situado en la zona m\u00e1s alejada del sistema solar.<\/p>\n

Tras una traves\u00eda de siete a\u00f1os a bordo de la nave Cassini, la Huygens se desprendi\u00f3 de la nave nodriza el pasado 25 de diciembre.<\/p>\n

Despu\u00e9s de un vuelo en solitario de 20 d\u00edas, la Huygens entro et la atm\u00f3sfera superior de Tit\u00e1n a las 11:13 CET (10:13 GMT) de hoy. La sonda, protegida por un escudo t\u00e9rmico, redujo su velocidad de 18.000 a 1.400 km por hora en apenas tres minutos.<\/p>\n

Poco despu\u00e9s, se abr\u00eda un gran paraca\u00eddas. A una altura de unos 160 km los instrumentos de la sonda empezaron a captar im\u00e1genes y a estudiar la atm\u00f3sfera.<\/p>\n

Durante m\u00e1s de dos horas, la nave Cassini, que sobrevolaba la zona, recibi\u00f3 y almacen\u00f3 los datos enviados por la sonda Huygens.<\/p>\n

Finalmente, un gran receptor de radio situado en Estados Unidos capt\u00f3 los d\u00e9biles sonidos de la Cassini. A continuaci\u00f3n, los datos se enviaron al ESOC para su an\u00e1lisis. La larga e impaciente espera de los cient\u00edficos hab\u00eda tocado a su fin.<\/p>\n

\u201cTit\u00e1n es un mundo fascinante y esperamos con ansia los resultados\u201d, coment\u00f3 el profesor David Southwood, Director del programa cient\u00edfico de la ESA.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
