In this mission, we embark on an exploration of the Saturn system, specifically its moon Titan. Much of the mission architecture for this cinematic is based upon NASA's Revolutionary Concepts for Human Outer Planet Exploration (HOPE) study created back in 2003, but applied to the Saturn system instead of the Jupiter system. This whole thing took me about 6 months to design, build, fly, film, and edit, so I'm really happy to release this one. I also made a lot of modifications to the existing Realism Overhaul configs as well as making my own, so don't assume your own instance will be able to perform the same way.
