The Cassini-Huygens mission was a collaborative project between NASA and the European Space Agency aimed at studying Saturn and its system, including its rings and moons. Launched in 1997, the spacecraft consisted of the Cassini orbiter and the Huygens probe, which landed on Titan, Saturn's largest moon, in 2005. The mission provided invaluable data on Saturn's atmosphere, magnetic field, and the complex dynamics of its rings and moons, revealing the potential for life on Titan and enhancing our understanding of the outer solar system. Cassini's mission concluded in 2017 with a series of daring dives into Saturn's atmosphere, ensuring no contamination of its moons.
