A Titan IVB core vehicle and its twin Solid Rocket  Motor Upgrades (SRMUs)  depart from the Solid Rocket Motor Assembly and  Readiness Facility (SMARF), Cape Canaveral Air Station (CCAS), en route to Launch  Complex 40. At the pad, the Centaur upper stage will be added and, eventually, the  prime payload, the Cassini spacecraft. Cassini will explore the Saturnian system,  including the planet’s rings and moon, Titan. Launch of the Cassini mission to Saturn is  scheduled for Oct. 6 from Pad 40, CCAS KSC-97PC870
