Cassini Huygens Mission to Saturn Magnet

The Cassini or Cassini-Huygens mission to Saturn and its moon Titan was a 20 year exploration to scientifically probe the gas giant planet Saturn, its rings, and its moon Titan. Launched in 1997, the NASA / JPL spacecraft flew past the Earth, Venus and Jupiter on its way to the Saturnian system, where it dropped the Huygens probe on Titan. The final portion of the mission was a deorbiting plunge into the dense clouds of Saturn’s atmosphere.
