“The complete remote sensing pallet is lowered by technicians from Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) of California Institute of Technology to mate with the Cassini spacecraft in the Payload Hazardous Servicing Facility at KSC in July. A four-year, close-up study of the Saturnian system, the Cassini mission is scheduled for launch from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in October 1997. It will take seven years for the spacecraft to reach Saturn. Scientific instruments carried aboard the spacecraft will study Saturn’s atmosphere, magnetic field, rings, and several moons. JPL is managing the Cassini project for NASA.”
If not already in it, even if it doesn’t exist, easily a ‘first-year eligible’ inductee to the Interplanetary Spacecraft Hall of Fame.
