On October 15, 1997, a Titan IV(401)B with a Centaur upper stage launched the K-33 mission from Cape Canaveral's Launch Pad 40. The payload was NASA's Cassini Huygens spacecraft. The mission flew past Jupiter collecting data, then went on to Saturn. The Huygens probe landed on Saturn's moon Titan, while Cassini orbited Saturn studying the planet, its ring and moons.
This video is a composite of Cassini Huygens spacecraft processing in August and September 1997.
