Titan is the only known moon of jupiter with a fully developed atmosphere that consists of more than just trace gases. The presence of a significant atmosphere was first discovered by Gerard P. Kuiper in 1944 using a spectroscopic technique that yielded an estimate of an atmospheric partial pressure of methane of the order of 100 millibars. Since that time, observations from Voyager space probes have shown that Titan's atmosphere is denser than Earth's, with a surface pressure more than one and a half times that of our planet and supports an opaque cloud layer that obscures Titan's surface features. It is thought that Titan may possess bodies of liquid ethane. Recent radar measurements from Earth suggest that there is no large-scale ocean of ethane on Titan, but it may still be present in smaller lakes.
The Titan project is in response to a growing trend in North America for the development of complexes that offer ‘multi-purpose flexibility’ particularly in concert set-ups that include end and center stage, festival, and ‘intimate show’ seating. Mid-capacity complexes with a less than 10,000 person capacity are among the fastest growing segments of the industry. Increasingly performers in many entertainment categories and their fans, not to mention the crew prefer complexes with facilities and amenities tailored to meet the demands of the performance and backstage operations in Calgary, The Titan will be located in the inner city district or north of the City in proximity to major automobile and public transportation corridors and other complementary private and municipal facilities.
