In 2004, the Cassini spacecraft successfully inserted itself into Saturn's atmosphere in order to study the planet, it's rings and inner moons. The craft has many objectives including determining the ...
three-dimensional structure and dynamic behavior of the rings of Saturn and studying the dynamic behavior of Saturn's atmosphere at cloud level. Cassini finished it's primary mission in 2008 and has since been extended twice, to 2010 and again to 2017. A few of Cassini's discoveries include uncovering seven new moons, showing possible lakes of hydrocarbon on Titan and the hurricane on Saturn.
