La verdad es que todos esos volátiles que se han enviado al espacio profundo y no tan profundo me han impresionado profundamente.
Lo encuentro magnífico.

| Cita: | Recordar que fue lanzado en 1997...!!!
7 anos le tomo llegar a Saturno y 13 anos de investigacion...!!!
Probablemente fue DISENADO...10 ANOS antes de su construccion...!!!!
Entonces, estamos hablando de los resultados de un proyecto creado y visualizado con la tecnologia de hace 30 anos...!!!
AMAZING...!!!

| Cita: | Cassini had its origins in the brainstorm of two scientists, Daniel Gautier of the Paris Observatory and Wing-Huen Ip, then at the Max Planck Institute for Aeronomy in Germany.
NASA’s two Voyager spacecraft flew through the Saturn system in 1980 and 1981. Voyager 1, in particular, provided a close-up look at Titan that was enthralling and maddening. Larger than the planet Mercury, Titan was enshrouded in haze. The atmosphere was thicker than Earth’s and contained methane and other carbon-based molecules. What lay below, no one knew.
“Those discoveries led to many more questions,” Dr. Ip recalled.
In 1982, Dr. Gautier and Dr. Ip proposed to the European Space Agency that it collaborate with NASA on a Saturn mission: an orbiter paired with a probe that would parachute onto Titan.
The orbiter became Cassini, built and operated by NASA; the Titan probe was named Huygens, a project of the European Space Agency. The Europeans approved Huygens in 1988. A year later, NASA gave the go-ahead for Cassini. The craft were named for a Dutch astronomer, Christiaan Huygens, who discovered Titan and figured out Saturn had rings, and Giovanni Domenico Cassini, a French-Italian astronomer, who discovered four other major moons of Saturn, each in the 17th century. |
