The Saturnora Cassini probe was sent to the United States. This probe will use your journey to send the European module Huygens to Titan, one of Saturn's main satellites, to investigate its atmosphere.

The project has been criticized in the United States for its high cost. However, on October 6, 1997, the Cassini probe is expected to be sent into space with the Titan 4 launcher. First you will pass through Venus and you will have two chances to see this planet closely (April 21, 1998 and June 20, 1999).

It will reach the Jupiter area in December 2000 and Saturn in June 2004.
