US-SATURN-CASSINI
Bob Mitchell, Cassini Program Manager (L) and Charles Elachi (R), Jet Propulsion Laboratory director, celebrate in the mission control room as the Cassini spacecraft successfully enters Saturn-s orbit, 30 June 2004 at mission control at NASA-s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California. After a nearly seven-year, 2.2 billion-mile (3.5 billion-km) journey, the Cassini spacecraft with the Huygens probe executed the critical maneuver to slip through Saturn-s rings and begin the burn to eventually park itself in orbit around the planet for it-s four year mission to examine the planet and to land the Huyens probe on Titan, Saturn-s largest moon.
