Abstract?? Cassini and Huygens flight systems are described including capabilities, launch, flight path, mission science objectives, and instruments. Interplanetary cruise, Saturn arrival, and science-tour operations are also discussed, including use of JPL's worldwide Deep Space Network for two-way communications. Launched 15 October 1997, Cassini/Huygens will arrive at the Saturnian system on 1 July 2004. The Cassini Orbiter begins a four-year tour of the ringed gas giant, and the Huygens Probe descends through Titan's dense atmosphere on 14 January 2005.
