Hopes and dreams of thousands of scientists and engineers are resting on the next few moments. We’ve been to Saturn1 twice before with the voyager I and voyager II spacecraft. But rather than these quick Kodak moments, we want to take a nice long leisurely2 look at the Saturnian system. The only way to do that was to slow down and let Saturn’s gravity capture send to orbit. Current speed of the Cassini spacecraft, 50,000 miles an hour, and increasing as Saturn’s gravity draws us in.
Cassini presses on, aiming for the gap between the outer F and G rings, hopefully clear of orbital
debris3. We turn the /main Huygens
antenna4 in the direction that the craft would see the ring particles coming toward it, so that it would act as a shield.
You’re listening to the actual
recording5 of tiny particles hitting the spacecraft as it crosses the plane of the rings,
Let’s go ahead and switch camera over to be zero.
So far, so good. But as Cassini disappears into radio silence behind Saturn, everything rests on the spacecraft firing its engine
perfectly6 and slowing down.
It’s a nail-biting wait at mission control. Go ahead and switch on.
As Cassini emerges proudly from Saturn’s shadow, it turns to cross the ring plane again.
Through any potential inhabitants of the Saturnian system, your eyes are not deceiving you tonight, there’s a 30 second moon
racing7 your night skies, and that’s the Cassini-Huygens spacecraft.
