PPT-NASA Cassini Spacecraft

Technology Report Nicole Iwaki ITMG 100 05 What is the Cassini Spacecraft O ngoing project by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Launch date on October 15th 1997 Its mission is to conduct detailed studies of Saturn its rings icy satellites magnetosphere and Titan. NASA launched a multipurpose spacecraft named Mars Re - connaissance Orbiter on Aug. 12, 2005 to advance our under - standing of Mars through detailed observation, to examine po - its trajectory.

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. Enceladus. with blue imaged tiger stripes.
