कैसिनी-होयगेन्स
Also known as Cassini–Huygens, Cassini-Huygens, Cassini-Huygens mission
Cassini–Huygens ( ), commonly called Cassini, was a space-research mission by NASA, the European Space Agency (ESA), and the Italian Space Agency (ASI) to send a space probe to study the planet Saturn and its system, including its rings and natural satellites. The Flagship-class robotic spacecraft comprised both NASA's Cassini space probe and ESA's Huygens lander, which landed on Saturn's largest moon, Titan. Cassini was the fourth space probe to visit Saturn and the first to enter its orbit, where it stayed from 2004 to 2017. The two craft took their names from the astronomers Giovanni Cassin
AI overview
Cassini–Huygens was a joint space mission by NASA, the European Space Agency, and the Italian Space Agency that sent a robotic spacecraft to orbit Saturn and study the planet, its rings, and moons from 2004 to 2017. The mission included NASA's Cassini probe, which orbited Saturn, and ESA's Huygens lander, which touched down on Saturn's largest moon, Titan, making it the first spacecraft to successfully orbit Saturn.
