the space prob Huygens landed on Saturn's moon in the year 1932.
It did not land on Saturn. Huygens was an atmospheric entry probe carried to Saturn's moon Titan and landed on Titan on January 14, 2005.
It did not explore Saturn. Huygens was an atmospheric entry probe carried to Saturn's moon Titan and landed on Titan on January 14, 2005.
The Cassini-Huygens mission was launched to the Saturnian System on October 15th, 1997. The probe that landed on the moon Titan was named Huygens, the orbiter was named Cassini. Huygens entered Titan's atmosphere On January 14, 2005 at 9:06 UTC. Huygens landed at 11:24, on the same day.
No, we have never sent any kind of probe to land on Saturn. This isn't possible, because the planet doesn't really have a solid crust for anything to sit on; thus the categorization 'gas giant'. Essentially, it is just a huge gas cloud surrounding a very dense metal core on the innermost part of the planet. However, there were several probes that did flybys of the planet and took pictures of it. Cassini was one of the more recent ones that took beautifully clear images of Saturn's rings; before that came Voyager, which was sent out of the solar system. Before we lost clear contact with the probe, it passed by and sent us information about the planet. But the Huygens probe has landed on Saturn's moon, Titan
Saturns two largest moons are Titan and Rhea

No space mission has landed on Saturn because the planet doesn't have a surface to land on. However, the Cassini-Huygens mission did land a probe on Titan, Saturn's largest moon.
The spacecraft you are trying to think of is Cassini-Huygens. It was carrying the Huygens space probe to the Saturn's moon of Titan.
Huygens did not land on "The Moon", it landed on Titan a moon of the planet Saturn.It touched down on Titan on January 14, 2005 near the Xanadu region.
The space probe Cassini is exploring Saturn's moons. It will launch a smaller space probe Huygens to explore Titan, Saturn's largest moon.

Titan (January 14, 2005)
The Cassini-Huygens mission was launched to the Saturnian System on October 15th, 1997. The probe that landed on the moon Titan was named Huygens, the orbiter was named Cassini. Huygens entered Titan's atmosphere On January 14, 2005 at 9:06 UTC. Huygens landed at 11:24, on the same day.
Probably the Huygens probe, which crashed on Saturn's moon Titan on January 14, 2005
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.
