Abstract
⺠Huygens moved for at least 10 s after landing on Titan. ⺠Our numerical model for this motion has the probe bouncing, sliding, and wobbling. ⺠Our model puts constraints on the physical properties of Titan's surface. ⺠We derive the surface friction coefficient, but it is not well constrained. ⺠The impact of the probe wake on the surface created a short-lived dust cloud.
