Cassini spacecraft
Cassini spacecraft. Computer artwork of the Cassini spacecraft approaching Titan, Saturns largest moon. Cassini was launched in October 1997 and will reach Saturn in July 2004. It will orbit Saturn for four years, studying the planet, its rings and its moons. Cassini is carrying the disc-shaped Huygens probe (brown) on its underside. In December 2004, the probe will separate from the orbiter and enter Titans atmosphere. The Huygens probe is expected to transmit data from Titans surface for up to 30 minutes

23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 23x19 inches (584x482mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable Cassini spacecraft as it approaches Titan, Saturn's largest moon. In this computer artwork, we witness the culmination of years of scientific research and exploration. Launched in October 1997, Cassini is set to reach its destination in July 2004, embarking on a four-year mission to study Saturn, its magnificent rings, and its enigmatic moons. The disc-shaped Huygens probe can be seen attached to the underside of Cassini. This ingenious probe will separate from the orbiter in December 2004 and venture into Titans atmosphere. As it descends towards the moon's surface, Huygens is expected to transmit invaluable data for approximately 30 minutes. This awe-inspiring image symbolizes humanity's insatiable thirst for knowledge about our universe. It represents countless hours of meticulous planning by scientists and engineers who have dedicated their lives to unraveling the mysteries of space. As we gaze at this illustration, we are reminded that space exploration knows no boundaries or limitations. The Cassini spacecraft embodies our collective curiosity as it navigates through the vastness of our solar system with precision and grace. Science Photo Library has once again captured an extraordinary moment in history with this breathtaking depiction of mankind's relentless pursuit of understanding our place in the cosmos.
