Cassini, launched on Oct 15, 1997, was a joint mission of NASA, the European Space Agency and Italian Space Agency.

 It reached Saturn’s system in 2004, and began returning the first-ever clear and close views of the giant planet, its rings and moons.

 The mission comes to an end on September 15, 2017 with Cassini plunging into the upper atmosphere Saturn and burning up like a meteor.
