But, despite its failures, NASA has proven remarkably capable when designing for alien environments. It is VERY unlikely we will see the fireball, and I have no say on what instruments will be used- (not complaining, mind you, I am not an astronomer and I wouldnt be qualified to make such decisions- our Titan expert across the hall from me will probably make those decisions) Also, Titan does not require the laser to observe it, so alas I will be out of the loop mostly.

I assume your reference to cyanide emission lines is because the methane and nitrogen when broken down in a plasma will form HCN...?
