Kronos. (spacecraft) Kronos is a concept mission to Saturn. It is aimed at detailed study of the chemical composition of Saturn's atmosphere, gravity and magnetic fields. The proposal consists of the solar powered carrier spacecraft, two atmospheric probes and (possibly) two small probes for the close-up imaging of the Saturnian rings.
Klingon. The Klingons ( / ˈklɪŋ ( ɡ) ɒn / KLING- (g)on; [2] Klingon: tlhIngan [ˈt͡ɬɪŋɑn]) are a fictional species in the science fiction franchise Star Trek . Developed by screenwriter Gene L.

Titan Saturn System Mission ( TSSM) was a joint NASA – ESA proposal for an exploration of Saturn and its moons Titan and Enceladus, [1] where many complex phenomena were revealed by Cassini. TSSM was proposed to launch in 2020, get gravity assists from Earth and Venus, and arrive at the Saturn system in 2029.
Huygens (/ ˈ h ɔɪ ɡ ən z / HOY-gənz) was an atmospheric entry robotic space probe that landed successfully on Saturn's moon Titan in 2005.
