I vaguely remember that prior to the Cassini-lauch it was possible to enter signatures on the website www.huygens.com which were supposed to be put on a CD onboard the Huygens probe. The site www.huygens.com is gone, so there is no chance to have a look at the content of the disk (unlike the Mars rover DVDs, where you can still go and browse the names and even print certificates). Does anybody know for sure whether this CD has actually been placed on board the spacecraft? Or was it just a publicity stunt?

Huygens has a CD onboard as well. ESA ran a public relations event for Europeans to submit signatures and messages to be recorded on a CD and attached to Huygens for its mission to Saturn/Titan. They issued a free copy of the CD-ROM in 1997 containing all the signatures/messages along with some Cassini/Huygens mission details and artwork.
Here is an image of the CD being mounted on Huygens.
