The Government pays for the Cassini space mission.
The Cassini-Huygens probe was launched on the15th of October 1997, on a mission to orbit Saturn and study its many moons. in 2008 , NASA extended the Cassini-Huygens mission by two years naming it the Cassini Equinox Mission. Another mission extension has been proposed to to prolong Cassinis mission until 2017.
Five to eight years because the launch needs to be approved.

Italian Space Agency provided the High Gain Antenna for the Cassini Space Probe. The HGA was built by Alenia Aerospazio.
the cassini space crafts mission was too orbit venus and then observe saturns moons
Cassini's mission exploring Saturn and its moon will end in 2013.
== == The Cassini space orbiter was part of the Cassini-Huygens mission, a collaborative NASA/ESA/ASI unmanned space mission for the purpose of studying Saturn and its moons.
Cassini - it's still there and will be for a while.
The Cassini mission costs three billion dollars.
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.

1. I don't remember any explosion of Cassini spacecraft in 1997. This Cassini is also now in space for research on Saturn (up to 2017). 2. The thermoelectric generator with plutonium-238 can be totally recovered at the end of mission.
