The Huygens Atmospheric Structure Instrument (HASI) is a multi-sensor package which has been designed to measure the physical quantities characterising the atmosphere of Titan during the Huygens probe descent on Titan and at the surface. HASI sensors are devoted to the study of Titan's atmospheric structure and electric properties, and to provide information on its surface, whether solid or liquid.

Huygens' measurements of the speed of sound on Titan
On 14th January 2005 the Huygens probe descended to Titan’s surface, measuring, amongst other properties, the speed of sound in the moon’s dense, haze filled atmosphere. These measurements were made…
In situ measurements of the physical characteristics of Titan's environment
TLDR
The temperature and density profiles, as determined by the Huygens Atmospheric Structure Instrument (HASI), from an altitude of 1,400 km down to the surface were higher than expected and the extent of atmospheric electricity was also hitherto unknown.

Electrical properties of ions in the atmosphere of Titan
The Permittivity, Wave and Altimetry (PWA) package on the Huygens probe measured atmospheric electrical activity during its 14 January 2005 descent into Titan's atmosphere. Electrical mobilities of…

In-flight performance of the HASI servo accelerometer and implications for results at Titan
The Huygens Atmospheric Structure Instrument (HASI) includes a high sensitivity servo accelerometer to sense deceleration in the direction of the probe trajectory as it enters Titan's atmosphere in…
Titan zonal wind corroboration via the huygens DISR solar zenith angle measurement
The in situ measurement of the vertical profile of Titan’s zonal wind is a major objective of the Huygens probe mission, as specifically addressed by the Doppler Wind Experiment (DWE). It now appears…
Temperature variations in Titan's upper atmosphere: Impact on Cassini/Huygens
Temperature variations of Titan's upper atmosphere due to the plasma interaction of the satellite with Saturn's magnetosphere and Titan's high altitude monomer haze particles can imply an offset of…
