David Southwood from the Cassini mission to Saturn, landed successfully on Saturn’s largest moon, Titan. Southwood later described the Huygens landing as "the highest point of all" from his ESA career. Southwood had also led the team which developed the magnetometer on the main Cassini spacecraft.

Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter opal, and gypsum. Two to five of the mineral classes were formed with the right pH and sufficient water to permit life to grow. The "Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter" CTX and HiRISE cameras have photographed a number of avalanches off the scarps of the northern polar cap as they were occurring.
