Cassini-Huygens probe, artwork C017 / 7209
Cassini-Huygens probe, computer artwork. The joint NASA-ESA Cassini-Huygens spacecraft was launched from Earth in 1997. It consists of two components the Cassini orbiter attached to the Huygens probe. Huygens separated from Cassini on 25th December 2004, and descended to the surface of Saturns largest moon, Titan, in early 2005. As of 2013, Cassini is still orbiting Saturn and its mission has been extended to 2017

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable Cassini-Huygens probe, a joint venture between NASA and the European Space Agency (ESA). Launched from Earth in 1997, this groundbreaking spacecraft consists of two components: the Cassini orbiter and the Huygens probe. In December 2004, Huygens separated from Cassini and embarked on an extraordinary journey to Saturn's largest moon, Titan. By early 2005, it successfully descended onto Titan's surface. Even after all these years, as of 2013, Cassini continues to orbit Saturn tirelessly. Its mission has been extended until 2017, making it one of the most enduring space explorations in history. The artwork beautifully captures this momentous achievement against a black background that symbolizes the vastness of space. The image highlights various technological aspects such as antennas and components that make up this awe-inspiring spacecraft. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and scientific progress in understanding our solar system. This illustration is not only visually stunning but also represents significant advancements in planetary science. Carlos Clarivan skillfully brings together elements of astronomy and technology through his artwork. With its intricate details and precision-cutouts, this print offers viewers a glimpse into the world of astronautical engineering and aerospace exploration.
