Cassini is an international cooperative effort between NASA, which is producing the orbiter spacecraft, the European Space Agency, which is providing the Huygens Probe, and the Italian Space Agency, which is responsible for the spacecraft radio antenna and portions of three scientific experiments. In the U.S., the mission is managed by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena, California. Lockheed-Martin successfully bid on the contract to build the PMS (Propulsion Module Subsystem) for this project. The Cassini spacecraft will be launched on an expedition to Saturn in October, 1997. Its mission is to enter orbit around Saturn in July, 2004, and to explore its moons, rings, and magnetic environment for four years. Cassini will carry the Huygens probe, an instrument package equipped with a parachute, which is designed to study the atmosphere and surface of Saturn's largest moon, Titan.
