    Cassini\u2013Huygens<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    • Cassini\u2013Huygens, commonly called Cassini, was a space-research mission by NASA, the European Space Agency, and the Italian Space Agency<\/strong> to send a space probe to study the planet Saturn and its system, including its rings and natural satellites.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • It took us to astounding worlds where methane rivers <\/strong>run to a methane sea and where jets of ice and gas are blasting material into space from a liquid water ocean that might harbor the ingredients for life.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
      MESSENGER<\/h6>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      • MESSENGER was a NASA robotic space probe<\/strong> that orbited the planet Mercury<\/strong> between 2011 and 2015, studying Mercury\u2019s chemical composition, geology, and magnetic field.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • The name is a backronym for \u201cMercury Surface, Space Environment, Geochemistry, and Ranging\u201d.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
        Voyager program<\/h6>\n\n\n\n
          \n
        • The Voyager program is an American scientific program that employs two robotic interstellar probes, Voyager 1 and Voyager 2.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • They were launched in 1977 to take advantage of a favorable alignment of the two gas giants Jupiter and Saturn and the ice giants, Uranus and Neptune<\/strong>, to fly near them while collecting data for transmission back to Earth.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • After launch, the decision was made to send Voyager 2 near Uranus and Neptune to collect data for transmission back to Earth.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n
