Misija Cassini-Huygens, v kateri so sodelovale ESA, NASA in Italijanska vesoljska agencija, je spremenila \u0161tevilna na\u0161a prepri\u010danja o Saturnovem sistemu. Izstreljena je bila iz Floride oktobra 1997, do Saturna pa je potrebovala skoraj sedem let in preletela skoraj 3,5 milijarde kilometrov. 5,6-tonsko vesoljsko plovilo je bilo sestavljeno iz dveh delov \u2013 orbiterja Cassini in sonde Huygens.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Cassini je prvo vesoljsko plovilo, ki kro\u017ei okoli Saturna. Na krovu ima 12 eksperimentov. Od prihoda k Saturnu 1. julija 2004 Cassini po\u0161ilja nazaj ogromne koli\u010dine novih podatkov o Saturnu, njegovih obro\u010dih, lunah in magnetnem polju.<\/p>\n

Misija Cassini-Huygens, ki je bila prvotno na\u010drtovana za \u0161tiri leta, je bila tako uspe\u0161na, da je bila podalj\u0161ana vsaj do leta 2017. Preletela je sedem ve\u010djih satelitov, vklju\u010dno z orja\u0161kim Titanom \u2013 ki je ve\u010dji od planeta Merkurja. Orbiter je ve\u010d kot 70-krat preletel Titan. Med letom v razdalji 880 km od lune je preu\u010deval Titanove oran\u017ene oblake in z du\u0161ikom bogato atmosfero. S pomo\u010djo slikovnega radarja je tudi kartiral njegovo povr\u0161ino.<\/p>\n

Na bo\u017ei\u010d leta 2004 se je sonda Huygens lo\u010dila od sonda Cassini. Tri tedne kasneje je z veliko hitrostjo vdrla v gosto atmosfero Titana in postala prva sonda, ki se je spustila na povr\u0161ino planetarnega satelita (razen na\u0161e Lune). Za\u0161\u010ditena s toplotnim \u0161\u010ditom je sonda v zgolj treh minutah upo\u010dasnila hitrost s 18.000 na 1.400 km na uro. Kmalu zatem se je odprl velik padalo. Na vi\u0161ini pribli\u017eno 160 km je sonda za\u010dela snemati slike in preu\u010devati atmosfero. Ve\u010d kot dve uri so se podatki s sondo \u00bbHuygens\u00ab sprejemali in shranjevali na sondi \u00bbCassini\u00ab, medtem ko je ta letela nad njo.<\/p>\n

Slike in druge informacije, ki so jih posredovali njegovi \u0161est instrumenti, so nam prvi\u010d razkrile, kak\u0161na je ta oran\u017ena luna v resnici. Huygens je pristal na suhem re\u010dnem dnu, pokritem z majhnimi ledenimi balvani.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
