Launch Date: October 15, 1997
Expected Arrival: 2004
Target: Saturn and Titan

The Cassini Mission to Saturn is an international venture involving NASA, the European Space Agency (ESA), the Italian Space Agency (ASI), and several separate European academic and industrial partners. The spacecraft carries 12 scientific sensors to support the planned investigations of the Saturn system. Launched in October 1997, the spacecraft requires seven years to travel to Saturn. It has flown past Venus, Earth, and Jupiter in gravity-assist swingbys to boost its speed, and will arrive at Saturn in 2004. Cassini orbiter carries the Huygens probe, which will be released from the orbiter to land on Saturn's largest moon, Titan.
