The Cassini Division is a large gap between the A and B rings of Saturn. It was discovered by Giovanni Cassini in the 17th century. The Cassini Division is largely free of ring particles due to gravitational interactions with Saturn's moon, Mimas.
The Cassini mission was a joint project between NASA, the European Space Agency (ESA), and the Italian Space Agency (ASI). The costs were shared among these agencies according to their contributions to the 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.
