Project Cassini is concerned with a potential collaborative mission to Saturn and Titan. The project has been the subject of a joint ESA/NASA Technical Assessment Study from April 1984 to July 1985. The spacecraft consists of a Saturn Orbiter and a Titan entry Probe. Science objectives with respect to Titan include a determination of the abundances of atmospheric constituents and isotope ratios, a study of the distribution of trace gases, cloud physics, and a determination of the state of the surface. Other science objectives are related to Saturn, the rings, icy satellites, the magnetosphere of Saturn, and asteroids. Attention is given to mission design, the spacecraft, and future prospects.
