Cassini spacecraft

NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, the leading center for robotic exploration of the solar system.

The CASSINI-HUYGENS mission , commonly called Cassini, was a collaboration between NASA, the European Space Agency (ESA), and the Italian Space Agency (ASI) to send a 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 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. The…

The Day the Earth Smiled. Launched on Oct. 15th, 1997, the Cassini spacecraft became the first spacecraft in history to enter orbit around Saturn. One of the most stunning images obtained by Cassini is this backlit view of Saturn taken on July 19, 2013. As Cassini looked back toward the Sun (blocked by Saturn) and the rest of the inner solar system, Earthlings, inhabiting the tiny dot in the center below the rings, were urged to smile as this long-distance planetary portrait was taken…

On April 26th, 2017, over 700 million miles away, a small spacecraft made history by plunging between Saturn and its rings. The craft’s name is Cassini and its time is coming to an end.

After two decades in space, NASA's Cassini spacecraft ended its remarkable journey of exploration with a grand finale.

This illustration imagines the view from NASA's Cassini spacecraft during one of its final dives between Saturn and its innermost rings.

Join us as we explore our solar system: The Sun, eight planets, five officially named dwarf planets, hundreds of moons, and thousands of asteroids and comets.

NASA’s Cassini spacecraft has been voyaging through the solar system since October 1997. It went into orbit around Saturn in 2004 and has since taken thousands of images of the planet, its rings, and its many diverse moons. But on 15 September, the craft will end its mission by crashing into Saturn. Cassini's grand finale: …
