Cassini – Huygens is a robotic space mission mission co-operated by NASA / ESA / ASI with the task of studying Saturn and its natural satellites.
Cassini is the fourth space probe to Saturn and the first satellite to orbit. Its mission ended on September 15, 2017. Cassini – Huygens has been studying Saturn and its natural satellites since arriving in 2004.
This ship consists of two main modules:
- Cassini orbiter designed and built by NASA. It is named after the French Italian astronomer Giovanni Domenico Cassini.
- Huygens developed by ESA, named after Dutch mathematician, astronomer and physicist Christiaan Huygens.
Cassini – Huygens was launched on October 15, 1997. After a seven-year interplanetary voyage, she reached orbit around Saturn on 1 July 2004.
Cassini is the fourth space probe to Saturn and the first satellite to orbit.
On December 25, 2004, the Huygens expedition ship was separated from Cassini at 2:00 UTC. It reached Moon Titan on January 14, 2005. When it fell into Titan's atmosphere, it hit the surface of the moon, then it sent scientific information back to Earth with control. remote (telemetry).
On April 18, 2008, NASA announced an additional fund for the ground operations of this mission and the mission was renamed the Cassini Graduation Mission.
In February 2010 again the mission expanded and continued until September 15, 2017. Cassini was the first expedition ship to fly around Saturn and the fourth to visit Saturn.
Cassini's missions
Research periods and data sent to Earth are organized into missions. [3]
Each mission is organized based on operating costs, research purposes, etc. [3]
At least 260 scientists from 17 countries participated in missions with Cassini – Huygens. In addition, there are thousands of people working in groups that design, produce and launch ships.
The main mission (Prime Mission), from July 2004 to June 2008.
Cassini case service (Cassini Equinox Mission) is a two-year extension from July 2008 to September 2010.
Cassini Review Point (Cassini Solstice Mission) from October 2010 to April 2017. [3] [7] (cũng được biết với câu lệnh XXM).
The last major mission (Grand Finale, the last ship will crash into Saturn), April 2017 to September 2017.
The Cassini ship committed suicide on Saturn
Cassini performed suicide on Saturn.
Last month, the Cassini spacecraft ended its suicide on Saturn. It completely ceases all communications with the Earth after its 20-year mission.
In about 60 seconds, Cassini used the final amount of fuel to ignite the thruster, plunging into Saturn's upper atmosphere.
In 13 years of flying around Saturn, Cassini changed our understanding of the sixth planet in the solar system. The ship has watched the storms of monsters sweeping the planet. It witnessed ice particles alternating through the belt system and exploring the viability of Saturn moons.
