“To ESA director general:
The morning was good. The afternoon was better. Morning engineering success. Afternoon science success. (Applause)
So we are the first visitors of Titan. Scientific data that we are collecting right now will reveal this first world. We got signal received by Titan long after the touchdown two hours. We are short of ground stations. The batteries are much more solid than the number of ground stations. Cassini beginning to deliver. We can expect to see fisrt results during the night. A great success for Europe. A complex machine, with 6 instruments. For space agencies in Europe, ASI [?] in Italy with the high gain antenna. Also a fantastic success of international cooperation, all members states of ESA. Cooperation with NASA
