Beskrivning : Space probe launched by NASA on September 5, 1977. The spacecraft still communicates with the Deep Space Network to receive routine commands and return data.
The probe`s primary mission objectives included flybys of Jupiter, Saturn, and Saturn`s large moon, Titan. While the spacecraft`s course could have been altered to include a Pluto encounter by forgoing the Titan flyby, exploration of the moon, which was known to have a substantial atmosphere, took priority. It studied the weather, magnetic fields, and rings of the two planets and was the first probe to provide detailed images of their moons.
