    • Description

      The Cassini spacecraft sits on display for the media in the Payload Hazardous Servicing Facility at the Kennedy Space Center in August 1997. The main high gain antenna dish is 4 metres in diameter.

      Cassini-Huygens is a joint NASA/ESA mission. NASA’s Cassini spacecraft will orbit Saturn for four years, making an extensive survey of the ringed planet. The ESA Huygens probe will be the first to land on a world in the outer Solar System - on the surface of Titan, Saturn’s largest moon. Data from Cassini and Huygens may offer clues about how life began on Earth.
