The joint ESA/NASA Huygens-Cassini mission, launched on October 15th 1997 from Canaveral using a Delta rocket, will carry the ESA probe towards Saturn's intriguing moon Titan. The probe has been developed to parachute through the atmosphere of Titan and analyse pressure, temperature and chemical constituency. The probe will also send back information on the type of surface it finally encounters.
This video, which relates to Cassini's Earth flyby on August 17th, 1999 contains the following footage: Cassini trajectory animation; animation comparing altitudes of Cassini flyby with shuttle, Hubble, Space Station; Earth flyby animation; Venus animation; Jupiter flyby animation; animation of Cassini rocket firing over Saturn's ring plane; Huygens animation [ESA] showing detachment of probe, parachute drop, Titan surface; Cassini launch footage.
