La sonda Huygens, fabricada por la Agencia Espacial Europea (ESA) y llamada así por el astrónomo holandés del siglo XVII Christiaan Huygens, (descubridor de la luna Titán del planeta Saturno), es una sonda de entrada a la atmósfera de Titán transportada como parte de la misión Cassini-Huygens.
Cassini–Huygens (/ k ə ˈ s iː n i ˈ h ɔɪ ɡ ən z / kə-SEE-nee HOY-gənz), commonly called Cassini, was a space-research mission by NASA, the European Space Agency (ESA), and the Italian Space Agency (ASI) to send a space probe to study the planet Saturn and its system, including its rings and natural satellites.
The Cassini orbiter had 12 instruments and the Huygens probe six. The instruments often had multiple functions, equipped to thoroughly investigate all the important elements of the Saturnian system. Cassini was the first planetary spacecraft to use solid-state recorders without moving parts instead of the older tape recorder.
