Huygens Descent Control Sub-System (DCSS), parachute mechanism, made by Martin Baker Aircraft Co. Ltd. in 1997, on behalf of the European Space Agency. The entire DCSS system is a series of three parachutes and mechanisms on the Huygens lander which slowed the 320kg spacecraft from 20,000km/h to a soft landing on Titan. The system was the most critical sub-system for Huygens as its failure would have meant mission failure.
