Cassini's mission : a spacecraft, a tiny moon, and the search for life beyond earth / by Venit, Katie,author.; Blattman, Julia,illustrator.(CARDINAL)827292;
Real-life spacecraft Cassini makes surprising discoveries on her visit to one of Saturn's moons in this graceful blend of science concepts and the awe of space exploration. Cassini was built to explore Saturn and its moons. Her engineers pack her full of tools that can measure, take pictures, and taste chemicals. It takes her seven years to reach Saturn's orbit, where she investigates Enceladus, the shiniest moon in the solar system. To the amazement of her scientists back home, Cassini makes a series of incredible discoveries: liquid water, chemicals, and energy--the ingredients for life! But Cassini doesn't have the right tools or enough fuel to answer the big questions that come next. This bittersweet true story is rich with both science and wonder, with illustrations that capture the breathtaking scale of our solar system. Back matter provides further insight and information, as well as additional educational resources.

Cassini mission / by Gitlin, Marty,author.(CARDINAL)485260;
Includes bibliographical references and index.Sights set on Saturn -- Partners in exploration -- Amazing journey -- Completing the mission -- Plotting the future -- What you should know."With its shimmering pink rings intertwined with gray and brown ones, Saturn is considered by many people to be the most beautiful planet in the solar system. It is also one of the most mysterious. In 1982, astronomers and scientists from the National Aeronautics and Space Agency (NASA), the European Space Agency (ESA), and the Italian Space Agency (ATI) proposed a joint mission to send unmanned spacecraft to explore Saturn and its moons in an effort to reveal some of these mysteries. It was named Cassini-Huygens to honor pioneering astronomers Giovanni Domenico Cassini and Christiaan Huygens, who carried out pioneering observations of Saturn more than 300 years ago. The mission generated vast quantities of invaluable data and astounding images. This book tells the exciting story of the Cassini-Huygens Mission, from its inception to the final plunge into the atmosphere of Saturn in 2017."--Ages 9-13.
