The Probe will spend nearly an hour descending from a pressure level of
about 0.1 bar, where the heat shield is jettisoned, to a depth of 10-20
bars. During this time it will make most of its scientific measurements,
relaying them back to Earth via the Probe carrier. Designers expect the
Probe to sink through regions of ammonia clouds, ammonium hydrosulfide
clouds, and ice and water clouds during this hour.
