Excellent book.

A must for anyone with an interest in planetary exploration and science. This will be a fantastic keepsake after the Cassini mission ends with a high speed, 119,100 KPH / 76,000 MPH atmospheric entry on: Friday 15th September 2017. Very well researched, brilliant images, diagrams and text. Also Huygens was extremely well covered too that successfully landed on Saturn's planet Mercury sized moon Titan way back on: Friday 14th January 2005.Thoroughly recommended by someone (me) who has followed this mission from well before construction of the Cassini spacecraft even started, let alone launch.Andrew R Brown.

Excellent

Very good and technical book by one of those involved in the Huyghens probe (and leads of the recently-approved “Dragonfly” mission, but this is not mentioned in the book). Detailed coverage of the mission planning, instruments, and major events (it was written a few months before the end of mission, which is also covered there). Just a bit of caution, it may be a bit “deep” for someone new to Cassini-Huygens, but otherwise an excellent reference

Great, typical Haynes manual style.. I love the new content in these things, always something I didn't know in them...

This brings a human touch to a text that could easily have become a shopping list of parts and processes

Dr Lorenz has written a superb summary of a project that stands head and shoulders above all planetary missions to date in terms of its boldness of reach, complexity, and scientific returns. Alongside the necessary technical descriptions Dr Lorenz ably adds topics that are often neglected from aerospace literature: the negotiations and compromises in planning, the failures, the work-arounds. This brings a human touch to a text that could easily have become a shopping list of parts and processes.

Insight into Planetary probe

This is an extremely detailed book on probably one of the most successful planetary missions conducted so far.As with other books in this series from Haynes on space, it covers most aspects of subject in fascinating detail, especially technical aspects. This is true in this case, not just on the Cassini probe but the Huygens lander.Text is helped by many photographs. Those of the assembly of the probe you probably not find in any other related books on the project.In general this is worth the price and stands alone as lasting tribute to the Cassini-Huygens mission, which will come to an fiery conclusion in the atmosphere of Saturn in September this year.
