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.
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.
The mission is managed by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, where the orbiter was designed and assembled. Cassini-Huygens's origins date to 1982, when the European Science Foundation and the American National Academy of Sciences formed a working group to investigate future cooperative missions. It was launched on 1997-10-15 08:43:00 UTCSee more here:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cassini_spacecraft
There have been four spacecraft that have visited Saturn. The first was 'Pioneer 11', which was launched on April 5th, 1973.
