What spacecraft launched on October 15 1997?

The Cassini-Huygens spacecraft was launched on October 15, 1997. It was a joint mission by NASA, the European Space Agency (ESA), and the Italian Space Agency (ASI) to study Saturn and its moons. Cassini orbited Saturn for over 13 years, providing valuable insights into the planet and its moons.


Cassini High-gain antenna was the contribution of?

The Cassini High-gain antenna was the contribution of the European Space Agency (ESA). It was an integral part of the Cassini spacecraft mission to study Saturn and its moons, providing communication with Earth during the mission.


Which of these spacecraft went into orbit around Saturn in July 2004?

There have been four spacecraft that have visited Saturn. The first was 'Pioneer 11', which was launched on April 5th, 1973. In August of 1977, 'Voyager One' and 'Voyager Two' were both launched to begin their mission to Saturn. 'Voyager One' flew by Saturn on November 1980 and, 'Voyager Two' reached Saturn in the summer of 1981. On October 15, 1997, a European spacecraft, called the Cassini-Huygens was the last to explore Saturn. A fifth spacecraft will be launched from the Cassini called the Huygens probe. This smaller probe was sent to to explore Saturn's largest moon, Titan.


When was the Cassini-Huygen spacecraft launched?

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.


What are all the names of the satellites or robots that have explored Saturn?

Some satellites and robots that have explored Saturn include Cassini, Huygens, and Voyager 1 and 2. Cassini was a spacecraft that studied Saturn and its moons for over a decade, while Huygens was a probe that landed on Saturn's largest moon, Titan. Voyager 1 and 2 also passed by Saturn as part of their missions to explore the outer planets of our solar system.

Why do you always see the spacecraft names cassini and huygens together?

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.


What probe was sent to Jupiter?

The Cassini-Huygens probe. cassini mapped and analyzed the atmosphere of Jupiter while the huygens probe was dropped deep into the atmosphere to record and take pictures of the atmospheric conditons. The two were named after famous astronomers and scientests; their last names obviously being cassini and huygens

How do you pronounce Huygens?

Cassini Huygens is a spacecraft designed to orbit Saturn. You would think to pronounce it Cassini Hugyens but it is wrong. Its pronounced (Cassini Hoy-gens) named after Titans discoverer. You don't want to look stupid and pronounce it (cassini hUygens) trust me I would know.

What is a Cassini probe used for?

The Cassini probe was a space probe launched by NASA to study the planet Saturn and its moons. It collected valuable data about Saturn's rings, moons, and atmosphere during its mission, which lasted from 2004 to 2017. The information gathered by Cassini has significantly increased our understanding of the Saturnian system.
