Alenia Spazio - Space memorabilia - Cassini Huygens probe - 1:30 - 1990-2000
Very rare and perfect scale reproduction of the Cassini Huygens probe.
The object was made in 50 copies to celebrate the success of the mission.
Cassini was the first probe to have entered Saturn's orbit and only the fourth to have visited it (Pioneer 11 and Voyager 1 and 2 had already passed before Cassini). The Huygens lander traveled together with the Cassini probe until December 25, 2004, when it separated from the latter to land on Titan on January 14, 2005. On the surface, the module transmitted data for 90 minutes.
The mission was successful far beyond expectations, revolutionizing knowledge of the Saturn system, including its satellites and rings.
