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 shows the arrival of Cassini at the Shuttle Launch Facility (SLF), then its transport to the Payload Hazardous Servicing Facility (PHSF). The videos are dated April 21, 1997 and April 23, 1997.
