AB: The Huygens Probe descended under parachute through Titan's atmosphere on 14 January 2005. After a 2.5 hour descent, it successfully landed and continued to function on the surface for more than 3 hours. Data were received through the Cassini Orbiter during the whole descent and for 72 min from the surface. A complementary data set was collected through a network of Earth-based radio telescopes. The integrated Huygens data set is now archived on ESA's Planetary Science Archive (PSA) and mirrored on NASA's Planetary data system (PDS). It is forseeen to maintain the data set when new high-level products will become available. A simple tool is being developped that allows to plot several data set on a common time scale. This poster will present the Huygens archive data set and illustrate studies that can be made by using a multi-instrument data subset.
