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 mating of the Titan IV's first and second stages in the Vertical Integration Building. The video is dated April 16, 1997.
