The Cassini-Huygens probe arrived at Saturn in 2004. The Cassini orbiter entered orbit around the planet then dropped off the lander, named Huygens after the Dutch astronomer of the same name, sending it on a trajectory to land on Saturn’s largest moon, or satellite, called Titan.
This is a YouTube video of the landing, composed of actual images taken as the probe fell through Titan’s thick atmosphere.
In this YouTube video, you can see an immense amount of information about the lander as it arrived near Titan, from atmospheric entry interface, through until landing.
