Sept. 15, 2017, Cassini's Grand Finale
After over 7,000 days in space, the Cassini mission ended on Sept. 15, 2017. Since its Oct. 15, 1997 launch, the spacecraft had returned a wealth of new knowledge and images of Saturn and its moons.
Saturn’s icy moon Enceladus has long fascinated scientists with its spectacular water plumes, which NASA’s Cassini spacecraft once revealed to contain organic molecules. Many hoped these molecules ...
This is a challenging mission for a number of reasons, beginning with getting down to the surface. Because Titan has a thick atmosphere, it will take about 90 minutes for the spacecraft to descend.
Building blocks of life have been found on this moon of Saturn. They may come from chemical reactions beyond Enceladus’ possible life-supporting ocean.
