Scientific paper

Cassini/Huygens is a very ambitious and exciting planetary mission designed to undertake an in-depth exploration, during the first decade of the next century, of the Saturnian system in general and the moon Titan in particular. It is being pursued as a collaborative effort by ESA and NASA, with ESA providing the Huygens Titan probe. The scientific community in the ESA Member States is making significant contributions to the payloads by developing many of the payload instruments. Cassini/Huygens will provide a wealth of data that will allow several generations of scientists to study the most beautiful and most complex planetary system in the Solar System. The in-situ exploration of Titan by the Huygens Probe will allow the moon's organic chemistry to be studied in an environment thought to be similar to that prevailing on Earth 4.5 billion years ago before life began.
