Saturn - The 6th Rock from the Sun-Share 3
Space Probe, "Cassini's" Mission
This was a tremendous engineering feat of great proportions...and one where the world and its scientists gained a tremendous amount of data regarding the Planet Saturn and it bevy of Moons... This mission was designed in multiple parts, the Mission to Saturn itself and to deploy a separate lander to Saturn's Moon "Titan". We shall cover both...and I believe that all of you RP members, who are interested in Space and Space Missions, will be mesmerized by this Mission's accomplishments!!! As always, Full Screen, Sound Up, for best visual and sound enjoyment!!!
Enjoy,
Kerry
To its very end, Cassini was a mission of thrilling exploration. Launched on Oct. 15, 1997, the mission entered orbit around Saturn on June 30, 2004 (PDT), carrying the European Huygens probe. After its four-year prime mission, Cassini's tour was extended twice.Jan 4, 2019
Some Cassini Facts From Wikipedia:
"The Cassini–Huygens mission, commonly called Cassini, was a collaboration between NASA, the European Space Agency, and the Italian Space Agency to send a probe to study the planet Saturn and its system, including its rings and natural satellites.
Spacecraft component: Huygens
Launch mass: 5,712 kg (12,593 lb)
Orbital insertion: July 1, 2004, 02:48 UTC
Power: ~885 watts (BOL); ~670 watts (2010); ~663 watts (EOM/2017)
Dates: Oct 15, 1997 – Sep 15, 2017
Dry mass: 2,523 kg (5,562 lb)"

It does amaze me as well, SSG Donald H "Don" Bates, but I just suck it all in, digest it, and learn from it... I just cannot get enough of it, Don...

Thank you, my friend Sgt (Join to see) for sharing background and the video focused on Cassini-Huygens orbiter spacecraft mission to explored hitherto unexplored [by us] regions of Saturn's rings - areas "between" them. The video shows scenes of the ground crew and simulated videos of the spacecraft with actual images of data sent back.
The Cassini has certainly provided a wealth of data including images of the previously unexplored areas between the rings of Saturn.
