Darren-K Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 Cassini imaging central laboratory for operations. The NASA Cassini-Huygens spacecraft was launched on October 1997 to start its 7 year journey to Saturn and its 40 Orbiting moons., ive been following this for a while now and there have been some pretty good images returned,most of the images are black & white to save on size,but theres lots for each year since launch.. http://ciclops.org//media/dr/2006/2101_5637_2.png Ciclops : http://ciclops.org/ir_index_main.php?type=standard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darren-K Posted May 5, 2008 Author Share Posted May 5, 2008 this quote from the nasa site is good : It is one of the most scientifically capable spacecraft ever launched, with a record 12 instruments on the orbiter and six more instruments on the European Space Agency's Huygens probe, which piggybacked a ride to Titan on Cassini. Cassini receives electrical power from three radioisotope thermoelectric generators, which generate electricity from heat produced by the natural decay of plutonium. also from the nasa site is a list of upcoming & current space missions,this is cool : http://www.nasa.gov/missions/current/index.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
