Cassini Spacecraft

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.  

WASHINGTON, Oct. 6 (UPI) -- The U.S. space agency's Cassini spacecraft is to make two flyby's of Saturn's moon Enceladus this month, including the closest flyby yet of any Saturn moon.

Observations from NASA's Cassini spacecraft have been used to build, for the first time, a 3D picture of the sources of intense radio emissions in Saturn's magnetic field, known as the Saturn Kilometric Radiation (SKR). The SKR radio emissions are generated by high-energy electrons spiralling...  

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

For at least two more years, the Cassini spacecraft will continue to explore Saturn and its ragbag of enigmatic, diverse moons  

Saturn's enigmatic rings may be much older and also much more massive than previously thought, according to a new study. Because Saturn's rings look so clean and bright, it was thought the rings were younger than the planet itself, which is estimated to be about 4.5 billion years old. But...

PASADENA, Calif. - The latest images from NASA's Cassini spacecraft show faint, partial rings orbiting with two of Saturn's small inner moons, scientists said Friday.
