Join us and share in the excitement of this extended voyage of discovery! One of the first things you will learn is that CassiniHuygens is an international mission. Seventeen countries are involved. You will also learn that Huygens is an atmospheric probe that the Cassini spacecraft will deliver to Titan, the largest moon of Saturn. Titan has a gaseous atmosphere that is thicker and more obscuring than the atmosphere here on Earth. We will look through Titans atmosphere with Cassinis radar and discover surface details for the first time. The mission will find out if there are really liquid hydrocarbons on Titans surface in the form of lakes or seas. The Cassini spacecraft itself will spend four years in orbit about Saturn. We will examine the rings and visit many of the satellites. We will sample special locations in the magnetosphere t
