Ralph Lorenz recalls the launch of the Cassini-Huygens mission in 1997. A billion miles from Earth, a small saucer-shaped spacecraft emerged from the fiery turmoil of an atmospheric entry.

With temperatures hovering at a chilly -180C, it finally touched down on the freezing surface of this distant world.
