The Mission:

1610: Galileo Galilei peered through a crude telescope at a planet far away. This would be Saturn but why was its shape different than the other planets, was it actually three?

1655: Christiaan Huygens crafts a special lens that helped him discover a new moon called Titan. Soon after he discovers that Saturn had a mysterious ring around it.

1671: Giovanni Cassini began his study of the moons of Saturn, its rings, and the division within them.

Centuries later, over 260 scientists from 17 countries would also turn their eyes to Saturn, but this time, we would find a way to go there and learn its secrets. The Cassini-Huygens mission was born.

October 1997: a Titan rocket stood ready to launch, at complex 40. Our 20 year, 4.9 billion mile journey was about to begin.

The Music:

I wanted to create a sound palette of moving time with a narrative to set the stage.
