Saturn was the sixth planet in the Sol system, and was displayed on a map of the system shown to Nomad in 2210.[1] Early exploration of Saturn began in the 1960s with the Pioneer series probes, and continued in 1977 with the launch of the Voyager series probes, the first of which reached Saturn three years later. The Saturn Dual Probe arrived at the planet in 1991, with the satellite going into orbit as the descent stage relayed information as it entered the planet's atmosphere. Arriving in 2020, the first manned mission to Saturn reported evidence of alien visitation. This remarkable find began to change humanity's perspective on its place in the universe.[4]
