Scientific paper

A Cassini mission to Saturn scheduled for launch on board of a two-story-high robotic spacecraft in October 1997 is described. The spacecraft characterized by a mass of about 2,500 kg of dry hardware and 3,000 kg of propellant will need a boost from the Titan IV/Centaur launch vehicle and several planetary gravity assists. The mission is aimed at delivering a European-built probe to the large, hazy moon Titan, and then touring the saturnian system for nearly four years. The Cassini mission is initiated by NASA, the ESA, and the Italian Space Agency.
