What is Cassini?

Cassini is an integral part of the Cassini Huygens detector. Cassini-Huygens is a cooperative project of NASA, European Space Agency and Italian Space Agency. Its main task is to conduct space exploration of Saturn. The Cassini probe, named after Italian-born French astronomer Cassini, orbits Saturn and conducts in-depth inspections of Saturn and its atmosphere, rings, satellites and magnetic fields.

Cassini was accurately positioned during this long 7-year flight, and the Saturn orbit it entered was very close to the original planned orbit. Such a complicated acceleration and flight path determines that at the moment when the launch starts, the direction and force of the launch must be calculated accurately, and the time and position of borrowing from Venus, Earth, and Jupiter must be calculated at one time. The accurate calculations of scientists are really impressive! Here, I would also like to thank humanity for being lucky, because any unexpected small stone in space may smash Cassini into pieces.
