While all the ingredients are there, the moon's composition likely prevents them from coming together in any meaningful way.

The Cassini-Huygens mission is an unprecedented $3.3 billion ... "This data is for posterity," said David Southwood, director of science for ESA. "It's for mankind. ... Scientists are going ...

ESA has had help. Plenty of American know-how is at work on Huygens too. For one thing, the probe is hitching a ride to Saturn on a NASA spacecraft named Cassini (after Renaissance Italian ...

And that they were able to pick up from Earth, it turns out. And then Cassini used it to lock onto Huygens. You can do one critical piece of science with the carrier signal alone and that is ...

another principal objective of the Cassini-Huygens mission is to study the chemical and mineralogical composition of the planet's moons using the spectrometers onboard the Cassini probe (and in the ...

The featured missions were selected through a poll conducted by The Planetary Society, with the top results being the Voyager "Grand Tour" program of the 1970s and 1980s; the Cassini/Huygens ...

"Nasa is responsible for the Cassini part of the spacecraft; ESA is responsible for the Huygens probe, which travelled down through the atmosphere of Titan." Q. When did the mission first start ...

Twenty years ago, a rocket launched from Cape Canaveral in Florida on a billion mile trek to Saturn. The photos the probe took revealed some astonishing things about Saturn, its rings and moons.

An curved arrow pointing right. NASA's Cassini spacecraft is on a daredevil mission that is taking it closer to the planet Saturn than it has been in over a decade. In December, the spacecraft ...

At 5 am ET on Wednesday, NASA will fly its $3.26 billion Cassini spacecraft where no spacecraft has flown before — in the deepest region of Saturn's rings between the planet and its inner-most ring.

A recent study utilizing radar experiment data from NASA's Cassini-Huygens mission to Saturn has unveiled fresh insights into the composition and behavior of the liquid hydrocarbon seas near Titan ...
