A preview of what’s to come . . . later today Todd will join us to tell us what the spacecraft and navigation teams are up to and we hope to post some Optical Navigation images today. John and/or Amanda are writing up more details on plume hazards. Meanwhile, Amanda’s at the Lunar and Planetary Society Conference and will be reporting briefly from there. Speaking of the LPSC, there are lots of Cassini results being presented there; to get summaries on those abstracts check out this feature.
are there any instrumente on the spacecraft that could detect any sign of microbial life?
Well Carolina Martinez, This is nice to fly by Encelad so close.
Let’s us know how much dust Material is comeing from the Plumeage.
P.S Wish you lock on the fly by , Bcause there could some Grauitational pull from Encelad.
I suggest that for the post times you note what time zone the time relates to. Otherwise it is hard to tell how recent it is. Great idea for the blog by the way. Keep it up for other big events!
