The Cassini spacecraft spent 20 years exploring Saturn, revealing incredible details about its rings, moons, and atmosphere.
Voyager 1: It was a space probe launched by NASA on September 5, 1977 to study the outer Solar System and the interstellar ...
It took almost 7 years for Cassini to reach Saturn. Another smaller spacecraft called Huygens hitched a ride with Cassini, and it was dropped off at Saturn's moon Titan in 2005. Cassini spent 13 ...
An curved arrow pointing right. NASA's Cassini spacecraft is on a daredevil mission that is taking it closer to the planet Saturn than it has been in over a decade. In December, the spacecraft ...
And that they were able to pick up from Earth, it turns out. And then Cassini used it to lock onto Huygens. You can do one critical piece of science with the carrier signal alone and that is ...
Cassini put a small European robot called Huygens on Titan's surface in 2005. It returned a remarkable image of pebbles that had been smoothed and rounded by the action of that flowing methane.
Twenty years ago, a rocket launched from Cape Canaveral in Florida on a billion mile trek to Saturn. The photos the probe took revealed some astonishing things about Saturn, its rings and moons.
An envelope. It indicates the ability to send an email. At 5 am ET on Wednesday, NASA will fly its $3.26 billion Cassini spacecraft where no spacecraft has flown before — in the deepest region ...
In over 40 flybys of Titan, the Cassini-Huygens spacecraft managed to 'see' the surface of the moon with its radar experiment and an infrared camera. By the end of the mission, the Cassini orbiter had ...
The investigation of the 5,150km-wide moon has been one of the outstanding successes of the Cassini mission. The spacecraft put a small robot called Huygens on its surface in 2005. It returned a ...
The 150-million-year-old dinosaur became the most expensive fossil ever sold at auction, raising old questions about whether such specimens should be put up for sale The Cassini-Huygens mission ...
