Titan's Interaction with Solar Wind & Magnetospheric Plasma.
The specific Cassini magnetosphere scientific
objectives related to the study of Titan's interaction with the
solar wind and magnetospheric plasma of Saturn are to:
Investigate the effects of Titan on the magnetosphere and
solar wind.
Characterize the interactions of Titan's upper atmosphere,
exosphere, and ionosphere with the magnetosphere and solar wind.
Study the ionization of Titan's upper atmosphere and ionosphere
and the injection of Titan ionospheric plasma into the magnetosphere.
Investigate Titan's induced magnetosphere.
Study Titan's hydrogen torus as a source of magnetospheric
plasma.
