The proposed mission concept evolves about one or more buoyant stations (balloons and/or airship) operating at varying altitudes in Titan's atmosphere. An orbiter of Titan provides communications link support and accomplishes remote sensing science experiments. The paper describes science objectives and payloads, the reference mission concept and various aspects of mission design analysis.
