You don't ALWAYS see them together. The spacecraft, as launched, is generally referred to by the combined names "Cassini-Huygens". The Cassini spacecraft is the parent craft which is orbiting Saturn. The Huygens probe was a lander that descended to the surface of Saturn's moon Titan.
The Cassini spacecraft weighed about 2,150 kilograms (4,740 pounds).

High resolution images of Phoebe, an outer satellite of Saturn, were obtained by the Cassini spacecraft. Cassini conducted a close flyby of Phoebe in June 2004, capturing detailed images and data of this irregular satellite before moving on to explore the main Saturnian moons.
