The Cassini-Huygens mission is a joint endeavour of ESA, NASA, and the Italian space agency, ASI. Launched in 1997, Cassini arrived in the Saturn system in 2004 and is studying the ringed planet and its moons. The Huygens probe was released from the main spacecraft and, in 2005, parachuted through the atmosphere to the surface of Saturn’s largest moon, Titan.
