A brief overview is given of planetary exploration to date, with a focus on outer planet missions, in particular the proposed 1996 Cassini mission to Saturn and Titan. A proposed infrared spectrometer, CIRS, for remote sensing of the atmospheres of Saturn and Titan from the Cassini orbiter is presented. The science return of CIRS would be significantly enhanced if a near phonon-noise limited 65-90K infrared detector could be developed. A description of the ongoing Goddard/NIST-Boulder effort to build a high sensitivity, high Tc bolometer is also presented.
