Ever since the discovery of the universe, deep space operations and explorations to identify human presence and conditions of their existence, have interested entire human race. With an increase in population, resources are being utilized explicitly which leads Earth towards a catastrophic future. Therefore, human colonization is not just key to exploration, but it is crucial to human survival. This paper is dedicated to exploring the possibility of life sustenance on Titan. The futurology of this paper lies in simulating a small planetary satellite, which is a space probe entering a planetary atmosphere. The probe consists of an aero-braking heat shield and a parachute which will be deployed at a certain altitude. The simulating space probe is an Arduino based satellite which is powered by an electric power source and equipped with an accelerometer, gyroscope, real-time clock, GPS, temperature, and altitude measuring sensors along with a camera pointing towards the Nadir direction to the satellite. The live and continuous data captured by the satellite will be received by the ground station (Graphical User Interface) and will be analyzed further for deeply understanding the targeted destination. This incremental step towards the exploration of Titan would mark the beginning of Human Colonisation in outer space.
