Artistic impression of AVIATR aeroshell and parachute descent to Titan's lower atmosphere. In the distance, thin hydrocarbon clouds can be seen above one of the lower haze layers. Below and at the surface, a fluvially dissected canyonland terrain awaits further exploration by the AVIATR aircraft.
Parachute impression is modeled from on Phoenix and Huygens lander parachutes.
