On October 15, 1997 the Cassini-Huygens spacecraft launched from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida. The mission is a joint effort of NASA, the Italian Space Agency, and the European Space Agency. The objective of this space mission is to learn about Saturn’s internal structure, its magnetic fluctuations, and the mass of the rings and also to study the bright and dark surfaces of some of the moons and compare them to other moons within our solar system. The Cassini-Huygens spacecraft is “one of the largest, heaviest, and most complex interplanetary spacecraft ever built” (Cassini Spacecraft). With the sophistication of the space craft itself, will be able to send back greater amounts of information that helps gain more information
