| Cassini-Huygens is one of the most ambitious missions ever launched into space. Loaded with an array of powerful instruments and cameras, the spacecraft is capable of taking accurate measurements and detailed images in a variety of atmospheric conditions and light spectra. Two elements comprise the spacecraft: The Cassini orbiter and the Huygens probe. In 2004, Cassini-Huygens is scheduled to reach Saturn and its moons. There the spacecraft will orbit around the system for four years; beaming home valuable data that will help us understand the vast Saturnian region. Huygens will enter the murky atmosphere of Titan, Saturn's biggest moon, and eventually descend via parachute onto its mysterious surface. The Huygens probe will send its measurements and images to Cassini, which will then beam them back to Earth. All major instrumentation, communications, and propulsion systems are modeled. Components are grouped but not combined. All texture and bump files are provided as shown. |
