Cassini - Huygens: Heavily instrumented flight systems approaching Saturn and TitanAbstract?? Cassini and Huygens flight systems are described including capabilities, launch, flight path, mission science objectives, and instruments. Interplanetary cruise, Saturn arrival, and science-tour operations are also discussed, including use of JPL's worldwide Deep Space Network for two-way communications. Launched 15 October 1997, Cassini/Huygens will arrive at the Saturnian system on 1 July 2004. The Cassini Orbiter begins a four-year tour of the ringed gas giant, and the Huygens Probe descends through Titan's dense atmosphere on 14 January 2005.
