The Cassini orbiter is going to spend the better part of a year observing Titan (amongst other things), in an attempt to map as much as possible to better the chances for a safe landing. Unfortunately even with a perfect mission, they only expect to get a few hours of data from the lander....still, who knows what it will see on the way down.
