The Cassini-Huygens mission is a cooperative project of NASA, ESA and Agenzia Spaziale Italiana, the Italian space agency. During its close fly-bys of Saturns ring system, Cassini´s instruments showed that the environment around the rings is an atmosphere composed mainly of oxygen molecules, similar to the atmospheres of Jupiter´s moons Europa and Ganymede.
