This hurts my feelings. Huygens is about 20% of the
Cassini-Huygens mission, and has been well represented
in the English article (going back to before the
spacecraft and article separation).

Not always a bad thing, now is the time to applaud
Europe's fantastic success; space craft seperation,
deploying multiple parachutes, ejecting heat shields,
