Cassini-Huygens

Cassini-Huygens in orbit around Saturn

The Guarniero model is used in this illustration.

Mission:
Cassini-Huygens is a joint NASA/ESA planetary exploration mission to the Saturnian system. The mission has two components, an orbiter, which will explore the entire system, and a descent probe, which will investigate Saturn's largest moon, Titan. Cassini, the Saturn orbiter, was built by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, with the Italian Space Agency (ASI) contributing its high-gain antenna and other radio subsystem equipment under a bilateral NASA/ASI agreement. Huygens, the descent probe, and the associated communications equipment on the orbiter were supplied by ESA.

This Cassini-Huygens 1:4 model is created using advanced design- and manufacturing techniques. The scale model has been made exactly matching the authentic designs, respecting all details.

Atelier Guarniero creates high quality space models, many of which are part of the ESA space program and of the International Space Station (ISS). Each scale model is made exactly matching the real spacecraft using information provided by the European space agency. At the moment we are working on a new line of rocket models beginning with the Soyuz launcher. We are planning to create a full line of rockets to complement our collection of satellites. Make sure to check back often to see pictures of every new satellite we produce.
