Dec 17, 2004 · In its five-year tour of the Saturn system, Cassini has sent home a bounty of fruitful images showing delectable scenes that fill the mind with wonder and awe. The Saturn System: A Feast for the Eyes Holiday greetings from the Cassini mission to Saturn. Happy Holidays 2017

Cassini's Tour de Saturn

https://www.spacedaily.com/news/cassini-01f1.html

In my last article on the Cassini Saturn probe, I described the first of the four "phases" of its four-year orbital tour of Saturn and its rings and moons, during which it will use a constant sequence of gravity-assist flybys of Titan - 44 flybys during its 74 orbits around Saturn during those four years - to keep radically modifying its orbit to study different parts of the Saturn system.

Cassini's Tour de Saturn

During the first two tour phases, Cassini will never be in an orbit tilted more than 22 degrees to Saturn's equator (just as Galileo, during all its lengthy mission around Jupiter, has always been in orbits close to Jupiter's equatorial plane to maximize the study of Jupiter's moons, and so has not been able to get a really good look at Jupiter's polar regions).

Cassini's Grand Tour

CASSINI ENTERS SATURN ORBIT Cassini slipped into orbit in 2004 and quickly began an acrobatic exploration of the planet and its myriad moons. Some of those …

Gravity assist

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravity_assist

After entering orbit around Saturn, the Cassini spacecraft used multiple Titan gravity assists to navigate through a complex orbital tour. A typical Titan encounter changed the spacecraft's velocity by 0.75 km/s, and the spacecraft made 127 Titan encounters. These encounters enabled an orbital tour with a wide range of periapsis and apoapsis ...

Cassini Magnetic Field Observations at Saturn

https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2005DPS....37.0601D/abstract

An overview of magnetometer data from the first year of the Cassini orbital tour at Saturn will be described. This analysis includes a description of the observed internal magnetic field, clear field periodicities observed at the rotational period of the planet, magnetospheric dynamics, strong wave activity within the magnetosphere as well as observations from close flybys of Titan and ...

Cassini Retro Poster: Whoosh!

Apr 04, 2017 · As depicted in this illustration, Cassini will plunge into Saturn’s atmosphere on Sept. 15, 2017. Using its attitude control thrusters, the spacecraft will work to keep its antenna pointed at Earth while it sends its final data, including the composition of Saturn's upper atmosphere.
