Titan Flyby - July 2, 2006
Cassini to Look In, Out and Over Titan
Two years after reaching Saturn, the Cassini spacecraft is halfway to
completing its orbital mission. On July 2, Cassini will perform its
16th
flyby of Saturn's largest moon, Titan. Cassini will focus on the
interactions between Titan's atmosphere and the big bubble that
surrounds Saturn, called the magnetosphere. Cassini will also study
Titan's surface to enable a better understanding of its properties and
composition.
