The Cassini-Huygens mission team is honoured with an Aerospace Laurel award by the editors of Aviation Week & Space Technology magazine. Aviation Week presented the award on 7 April 2006, for the successful landing of the European Space Agency's Huygens probe on Saturn's moon Titan, and for the science return and inspiring images from NASA's Cassini orbiter, which will continue sending back data for many years.
Receiving the award were, from left, Jean-Pierre Lebreton, the European Space Agency's Project Scientist and Mission Manager, with Dennis Matson, the Project Scientist at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
