Compare and contrast the Galileo and Cassini missions
What will be an ideal response?
Both are orbiters of jovian planets, but the probe for Galileo fell into Jupiter's atmosphere, while the Huygens probe from Cassini was sent to Saturn's large moon Titan. Both used a gravitational slingshot via Earth and Venus to reach their destinations, resulting in reduced fuel consumption and possibly a longer than expected useful life. Cassini was able to collect data on Jupiter as it flew past.
