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.
