I asked the good folks at Chandra if they had or could take infra/xray photos of Titan and its atmosphere.
This is their response:
Thank you for your interest in the Chandra X-Ray Observatory!
In reply to your question, Saturn will have a conjunction with the Crab
nebula on January 5,2003. This will be a rare event since Saturn passes
very close to the pulsar in the Crab. The plan is to observe the
Saturn-Titan system at this time, and to see how Saturn’s rings, and the
atmospheres of Saturn and Titan absorb X-rays. This data may give us new
information about the
composition of these objects.
I hope that the information above helps and please contact us again with
questions concerning Chandra.
