PDF-(BOOK)-The Cassini-Huygens Visit to Saturn: An Historic Mission to the Ringed Planet (Springer

CassiniHuygens was the most ambitious and successful space journey ever launched to the outer Solar System This book examines all aspects of the journey its conception and planning the lengthy political processes needed to make it a reality the engineering and development required to build the spacecraft its 22billion milejourney from Earth to the Ringed Planet and the amazing discoveriesfrom the missionThe author traces how the visions of a few brilliant scientists matured gained popularity and eventually became a realityInnovative technical leaps were necessary to assemble such a multifaceted spacecraft and reliably operate it while it orbited a planet so far from our own The CassiniHuygens spacecraft design evolved from other deep space efforts most notably the Galileo mission to Jupiter enabling the voluminous paradigmshifting scientific data collected by the spacecraftSome of these discoveries are absolute gems A small satellite that scientists once thought of as a dead piece of rock turned out to contain a warm underground sea that could conceivably harbor life And we now know that hiding under the mist of Saturn s largest moon Titan is a world with lakes fluvial channels and dunes hauntingly reminiscent of those on our own planet except that on Titan it s not water that fills those lakes but hydrocarbons These and other breakthroughs illustrate why the CassiniHuygens mission will be remembered as one of greatest voyages ofdiscovery ever made.

On May 29, 7 B.C., there occurred an extraordinary conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn in the constellation of Pisces. And it is a remarkable astronomic fact that similar conjunctions occurred on September 29 and December 5 of the same year. Upon the basis of these extraordinary but wholly natural events the well-meaning zealots of the succeeding generation constructed the appealing legend of the star of Bethlehem and the adoring Magi led thereby to the manger, where they beheld and worshiped the newborn babe. Oriental and near-Oriental minds delight in fairy stories, and they are continually spinning such beautiful myths about the lives of their religious leaders and political heroes. In the absence of printing, when most human knowledge was passed by word of mouth from one generation to another, it was very easy for myths to become traditions and for traditions eventually to become accepted as facts..

The descent of the Huygens probe to the frozen surface of Saturn\'s moon, Titan, in 2005, marks a pinnacle achievement in space exploration - the most distant planetary landing ever made or presently foreseen. The Huygens probe\'s seven-year voyage through space (past Venus, Earth and Jupiter) attached to the Cassini orbiter, its arrival at Saturn and three-week dormant coast to Saturn\'s moon, Titan, culminated in Huygens\' hypersonic entry into Titan\'s atmosphere, 2.5-hour parachute descent, and continued operation for 72 minutes on the surface transmitting date back to Earth via the Cassini orbiter. Saturn has 62 confirmed orbiting moons, but Titan (which is larger than the planet Mercury) was chosen as a has two major components of Earth\'s atmosphere - nitrogen and oxygen - but the oxygen is was thought to be frozen as water ice within the body of the moon. If Titan received more sunlight, its atmosphere might well resemble that of a primitive Earth. The hope is that study of the data gathered about Titan will help us to understand how the Earth evolved, and possibly what led to the evolution of life. Cassini-Huygens was the most ambitious and successful space journey ever launched to the outer Solar System. This book examines all aspects of the journey: its conception and planning the lengthy political processes needed to make it a reality the engineering and development required to build the spacecraft its 2.2-billion milejourney from Earth to the Ringed Planet and the amazing discoveriesfrom the mission.The author traces how the visions of a few brilliant scientists matured, gained popularity and eventually became a reality.Innovative technical leaps were necessary to assemble such a multifaceted spacecraft and reliably operate it while it orbited a planet so far from our own. The Cassini-Huygens spacecraft design evolved from other deep space efforts, most notably the Galileo mission to Jupiter, enabling the voluminous, paradigm-shifting scientific data collected by the spacecraft.Some of these discoveries are absolute gems. A small satellite that scientists once thought of as a dead piece of rock turned out to contain a warm underground sea that could conceivably harbor life. And we now know that hiding under the mist of Saturn s largest moon, Titan, is a world with lakes, fluvial channels, and dunes hauntingly reminiscent of those on our own planet, except that on Titan, it s not water that fills those lakes but hydrocarbons. These and other breakthroughs illustrate why the Cassini-Huygens mission will be remembered as one of greatest voyages ofdiscovery ever made. Enceladus. with blue imaged tiger stripes.
