Cassini Spacecraft

NASA's Cassini spacecraft orbiting Saturn made its closest fly-by of the moon Enceladus. Analyzing molecules being ejected from geysers on the moon's surface, Cassini will provide scientists with data on whether water is present on the satellite.  

Moffett Field CA (SPX) Oct 09, 2008 - NASA's Cassini spacecraft is scheduled to fly within 16 miles of Saturn's moon Enceladus on Oct. 9 and measure molecules in its space environment that could give insight into the history of the solar system.  

The international Cassini space probe flew within 16 miles of the surface of Saturn's moon Enceladus yesterday -- a breathtakingly close flyby designed to gather dust and water particles that will help scientists better understand the recently discovered geysers that spew constantly from the...  

NASA's Cassini spacecraft will fly by Saturn's geyser moon, Enceladus. The October 9th flyby is the closest flyby yet of any moon of Saturn, at only 25 kilometers (16 miles) from the surface. The October 31 flyby is farther out, at 196 kilometers (122 miles).

I mentioned the other day that the Cassini spacecraft will be making a close pass by Saturn's moon, Enceladus today, so I'll have a bit more on that.

The Cassini spacecraft will make two close passes of Saturn's geyser-spewing moon Enceladus this month. The first one on October 9 is the closest flyby yet of any moon of Saturn, at a white-knuckle distance of only 25 kilometers (16 miles) from the surface. The not-quite-as-scary Halloween flyby...  

The international Cassini space probe flew within 16 miles of the surface of Saturn’s moon Enceladus on Thursday.  

NASA / JPL / SSI An image of the Saturnian moon Enceladus taken during Thursday's flyby shows a deep channel cutting through the surface ice. The Cassini orbiter came through its closest-ever encounter with a Saturnian moon with flying colors - and with a fresh crop of cool black-and...  

Does an ocean of water exist under the surface of one of Saturn's moons, capable of supporting life? Today, the Cassini spacecaft will conduct the closest flyby ever of any of Saturn's moons, coming only 16 miles from the surface of the moon Enceladus.  

The most recent spacecraft telemetry was acquired on Sept. 30 from the Deep Space Network tracking complex at Madrid, Spain. The Cassini spacecraft is in an excellent state of health and all subsystems are operating normally.
