As it happens, in about 5 minutes, we will get our first chance to see if we're getting actual data back from the decent module. We have established that Huygens is transmitting a carrier signal, and is therefore "alive." Although the carrier signal contains no data, the probe started transmitting after several steps in the decent process had occured.
More as it develops.
