OBJECT = MISSION MISSION_NAME = "CASSINI-HUYGENS" OBJECT = MISSION_INFORMATION MISSION_START_DATE = 1997-10-15 MISSION_STOP_DATE = 2017-09-15 MISSION_ALIAS_NAME = "CASSINI" MISSION_DESC = " The majority of text in this file was extracted from Cassini Mission Plan Documents: 1) Prime Mission Plan, 2003, and Prime Mission Plan As-Flown, Rev. P, July 2008, Dave Seal [JPL D-5564] 2) Equinox Mission Plan As-Flown, July 2012, Emily Manor-Chapman [JPL D-73535] 3) Solstice Mission Plan, August 2012, Emily Manor-Chapman [JPL D-81137] The Cassini spacecraft, including the Huygens Probe, was launched on 15 October 1997 using a Titan IV/B launch vehicle with Solid Rocket Motor Upgrade (SRMU) strap-ons and a Centaur upper stage. The spacecraft used a 6.7-year Venus-Venus-Earth-Jupiter Gravity Assist (VVEJGA) trajectory to Saturn, during which cruise observations were conducted to check out, calibrate, and maintain the instruments as well as to perform limited science. After Saturn Orbit Insertion (SOI) (1 July 2004), the Huygens Probe separated and, on the third encounter with Titan, entered the satellite's atmosphere to make in situ measurements during an approximately 150 minute descent (14 January 2005). The Orbiter continued a tour of the Saturn system collecting data on the planet and its satellites, rings, and environment. After a highly successful Saturn Orbit Insertion (SOI) on July 1, 2004 and Huygens Probe descent to the surface of Titan in January of 2005, Cassini went on to complete its four-year tour of Saturn, its rings, satellites, and magnetosphere via 75 orbits about Saturn, 45 close Titan flybys, 4 Enceladus flybys, and 9 close flybys of other icy satellites along with dozens of Saturn, rings, and Titan radio and Solar occultations. At the end of the very successful prime mission all instruments and major spacecraft systems were healthy. Due to the highly successful execution of the prime mission, the vast quantity of new discoveries and overall quality of science being returned by the Cassini spacecraft, and the estimated propellant remaining at the conclusion of the prime mission, NASA Headquarters allocated funding for the development of a 2-year Cassini extended mission. At the conclusion of the prime mission tour phase on 01 July 2008, Cassini initiated a two-year extended mission named the Equinox Mission (EM) to be completed on 11 October 2010. This mission featured an additional 28 Titan flybys, 11 close icy satellite flybys, and 64 orbits of Saturn. The orbit inclination moved from over 70 degrees at the start of the Equinox mission down to 0 degrees in a little over a year, then back up to 20 degrees in Jan 2010, and down again in July 2010. There were seven Enceladus flybys along with single flybys of Rhea, Mimas, Dione, and Helene. The Enceladus flybys were designed to provide close flybys to allow the best views of the plume expulsions near the South Polar area. In addition, there were 22 non-targeted, distant flybys of icy satellites. Titan flybys continued to map the surface of Titan. The scientific intensity and priority of this phase, as judged by the project and by HQ, was of the same level as that of the prime mission. The second extended mission, temporarily called the Extended-Extended Mission (XXM) and officially named the Solstice Mission (SM), was designed as a seven-year mission. Funding for SM was reduced (40% for engineering, 25% for science) from Prime Mission levels. Due to project descoping, the SM Trajectory was not as aggressive as it was for the Prime Mission or Extended Mission, but it was still scientifically rich. It began on 11 October 2010 and ended on 15 September 2017. The SM featured 54 Titan flybys, 23 close (<20,000 km) icy satellite flybys (which included 11 Enceladus flybys), and 154 orbits of Saturn. The mission continued to explore the features of the Saturnian system such as the rings, the magnetosphere, and icy satellites, addressed new questions raised by Cassini's Prime and Equinox missions, as well as observed seasonal change in the Saturnian system. The over-arching goal of the SM was to observe the complex and dynamic Saturn system over a wider range of geometries and conditions, including the northern summer solstice, which occurred in May 2017. By the end of mission (EOM), Cassini observed most of the northern winter season and all of the northern spring season. On 30 November 2016, Cassini began the penultimate phase of the mission, the Ring Grazing orbits. This 20-week phase consisted of 20 high-inclina- tion orbits with apoapses near Titan's orbit and periapses just outside the main ring system. The final, targeted flyby on 22 April 2017 set Cassini on the Grand Finale, a series of 22 orbits with periapses that passed between Saturn and its rings. On 11 September, Titan gave Cassini a 'goodbye kiss', a distant non- targeted flyby that put Cassini on its impact trajectory with Saturn. End of mission (EOM) occurred on 15 September 2017.

It carried twelve orbiter instruments designed to carry out 27 diverse science investigations. The Huygens Probe (HP) was equipped with six instruments designed to study the atmosphere and surface of Titan. It entered the upper atmosphere protected by a heat shield, then deployed parachutes to descend slowly to the surface from an altitude of about 200 km. The instruments, with acronym and Principal Investigator (PI) or Team Leader (TL), are summarized below: Instrument Acronym PI/TL ----------------------------------------------- ------------ Orbiter: Cassini Plasma Spectrometer CAPS Young/Furman Cosmic Dust Analyzer CDA Srama Composite Infrared Spectrometer CIRS Flasar Ion and Neutral Mass Spectrometer INMS Waite Imaging Science Subsystem ISS Porco Magnetometer MAG Dougherty Magnetospheric Imaging Instrument MIMI Krimigis Cassini Radar RADAR Elachi Radio and Plasma Wave Science RPWS Gurnett Radio Science Subsystem RSS French Ultraviolet Imaging Spectrograph UVIS Esposito Visible and Infrared Mapping Spectrometer VIMS Brown Probe: Aerosol Collector and Pyrolyser ACP Israel Descent Imager Spectral Radiometer DISR Tomasko Doppler Wind Experiment DWE Bird Gas Chromatograph Mass Spectrometer GCMS Niemann Huygens Atmospheric Structure Instrument HASI Fulchignoni Surface Science Package SSP Zarnecki Mission Phases ============== LAUNCH 1997-10-15 to 1997-10-17 1997-288 to 1997-290 ------ Cassini successfully lifted-off from the Cape Canaveral Air Station complex 40 on 15 October 1997 at 08:55 UTC. The solid rocket motors burned from liftoff to separation at 2 min 23 sec at an altitude of 68,300 m. Stage 1 ignition began at 2 min 11 sec at an altitude of 58,500 m, and Stage 2 ignition (and Stage 1 separation) occurred at 5 min 23 sec after liftoff at 167,300 m. During the first three minutes and 27 seconds of flight, the payload fairing shrouded the spacecraft, protecting it from direct solar illumination. The Centaur upper stage separated from the launch vehicle at 9 min 13 sec at 206,700 m. The first Centaur burn began at 9 min 13 sec and lasted approximately two minutes. This burn placed the Cassini spacecraft into an elliptical, 170 km by 445 km parking orbit with an inclination of about 30 degrees. After 17 minutes in the parking orbit, the Centaur fired again and launched Cassini toward Venus en route to Saturn. The injection C3 was 16.6 km^2/s^2. Immediately after separation from the Centaur, the spacecraft's Attitude and Articulation Control Subsystem (AACS) pointed the HGA toward the Sun to achieve a thermally safe attitude in which the HGA served as an umbrella for the remainder of the spacecraft. X-band uplink and downlink was established through the LGAs, the Radio and Plasma Wave Science (RPWS) Langmuir Probe was deployed, instrument replacement heaters and main engine oxidizer valve heaters were turned on, and the Stellar Reference Unit (SRU), Imaging Science Subsystem (ISS), and Visible and Infrared Mapping Spectrometer (VIMS) decontaminations were started. TCM 1 1997-10-18 to 1997-11-14 1997-291 to 1997-318 ----- The Trajectory Correction Maneuver 1 (TCM 1) phase comprised four one-week sequences. During most of the TCM 1 phase, the spacecraft was in a relatively quiescent state with the HGA pointed toward the Sun. Telemetry downlinked by the spacecraft was utilized to make an initial characterization of the spacecraft and to assess whether its various subsystems survived the launch. Deployment, decontamination, tank heating, and AACS checkout activities were started. Before the maneuver itself, the fuel and oxidizer tanks were heated in order to avoid an irreversible overpressure in the propellant lines. If the tanks fully pressurized before the spacecraft passed through the peak temperature regime, then (when the spacecraft did enter the maximum thermal environment) the tank pressure would climb without there being a way to bring it back down, possibly causing an overpressure. TCM 1 was an Earth injection clean-up maneuver placed at 25 days after launch. TCM 1 was executed using the main engine with a delta-V magnitude of 2.8 m/s. The burn sequence included holding the spacecraft off-Sun after burn completion to allow the spacecraft heating to be characterized in a relatively benign environment. INTERPLANETARY CRUISE 1997-11-14 to 1999-11-07 1997-318 to 1999-311 --------------------- The Interplanetary Cruise Phase extended from 14 November 1997 to 7 November 1999. It consisted of three subphases: Venus 1 Cruise, Instrument Checkout 1, and Venus 2 - Earth Cruise. During most of this phase, Cassini's proximity to the Sun constrained the spacecraft to remain Sun-pointed, and communications were conducted using the Low Gain Antennas. The downlink capability of the LGAs at large spacecraft-Earth ranges was very limited. Between 30 and 150 days after launch, for example, the downlink data rate decreased from 948 to 20 bps. Beginning on 28 December 1998, the spacecraft approached opposition and the HGA could be pointed towards Earth for a period of 25 days while the Probe equipment temperature remained within the required range. This provided a high data rate window during which checkout activities could be accomplished. VENUS 1 CRUISE 1997-11-14 to 1998-09-13 1997-318 to 1998-256 -------------- The Venus 1 Cruise subphase started on 14 November 1997 and continued through 13 September 1998. The subphase encompassed sequences C5 through C9 and included two TCMs, one planetary swingby, and three switches between LGA1 and LGA2. Most of the period was dedicated to engineering and instrument maintenance activities. VENUS 1 ENCOUNTER 1998-04-26 1998-116 The first Venus encounter occurred on 26 April 1998. The spacecraft approached Venus from a sunward direction, and closest approach occurred just after the spacecraft entered the Sun's shadow for a period of about 15 minutes. At closest approach, the altitude was 284 km, with a velocity relative to Venus of 11.8 km/s. The spacecraft was occulted from Earth for about 2 hours. The Earth occultation zone started about 15 minutes after the spacecraft left the Sun occultation zone. Accuracy for the Venus flyby was assured by using two TCMs (Trajectory Correction Maneuvers), 60 and 20 days before closest approach, and a clean-up maneuver 20 days after the flyby. INSTRUMENT CHECKOUT 1 1998-09-14 to 1999-03-14 1998-257 to 1999-073 --------------------- The Instrument Checkout 1 subphase (ICO-1) started on 14 September 1998, continued through 14 March 1999, and consisted of sequences C10-C13. This subphase was characterized by the opposition that occurred on 9 January 1999, which allowed use of the HGA for downlink since the Earth and Sun were nearly aligned as seen from Cassini. All instruments scheduled checkout activities within the 25 day period centered on opposition. This was the first opportunity since launch to exercise and check the status of most instruments outside of routine maintenance. The 'Quiet Test', for example, allowed each instrument to monitor other instruments as they turned on and off and provided valuable insight into how to integrate science observations during the Saturn tour. During instrument checkout activities, the spacecraft autonomously went into a safe state. Accumulating star position errors from the slow turn required to keep the Sun on the -x-axis triggered AACS fault protection. Most of the instrument checkout activities were rescheduled after a 10 day safing period. Those that were not completed were rescheduled for the ICO-2 subphase during Outer Cruise. VENUS 2 - EARTH CRUISE 1999-03-15 to 1999-11-07 1999-074 to 1999-311 ---------------------- The Venus 2 - Earth Cruise subphase started on 15 March 1999, 45 days prior to the second Venus flyby, and continued through 7 November 1999, which was 82 days after the Earth flyby. The subphase encompassed sequences C13 through C16, and included seven scheduled TCMs, two planetary swingbys, and 25 science activities in addition to normal engineering activities. Science activities included maintenance, calibration, checkout, and science observations using all of the Cassini instruments except INMS and CIRS. VENUS 2 ENCOUNTER 1999-06-24 1999-175 TCM-7 was executed 37 days before the Venus 2 Encounter. TCM-8 was scheduled 21 days prior to Venus 2, but it was canceled. DSN (Deep Space Network) coverage increased from one to three passes per day in support of the flyby. EARTH ENCOUNTER 1999-08-18 1999-230 The Earth flyby occurred 55 days after the Venus 2 flyby. The spacecraft approached the Earth from approximately the direction of the Sun. Closest approach occurred right after the spacecraft entered the Sun occultation zone. The occultation lasted approximately 30 minutes. The altitude at closest approach was 1175 km, with an Earth-relative velocity of 19.0 km/s. Trajectory correction maneuvers took place 43, 30, 15 and 6.5 days before closest approach, and a clean-up maneuver was executed 13 days after the flyby. Continuous DSN coverage began at the Venus 2 flyby and continued through the Earth flyby. A week after the Earth Encounter, DSN coverage dropped to one pass every two days. Five instruments conducted observations as Cassini passed through the Earth's magnetotail. OUTER CRUISE 1999-11-08 to 2002-07-07 1999-312 to 2002-188 ------------ The Outer Cruise Phase consisted of four subphases: HGA Transition, Instrument Checkout 2, Jupiter Cruise, and Quiet Cruise. The Outer Cruise phase extended from 8 November 1999 (when the spacecraft reached a Sun range of 2.7 AU) to 7 July 2002 (about two years before Saturn Orbit Insertion). At 2.7 AU (1 February 2000), the HGA began continuous Earth- pointing. The one planetary encounter in this phase was the flyby of Jupiter in December 2000. Science at Jupiter was an opportunity to test Saturn observation strategies with HGA data rates. HIGH GAIN ANTENNA TRANSITION 1999-11-08 to 2000-05-06 1999-312 to 2000-127 ---------------------------- This subphase included sequences C17 to C19, operation of ISS and VIMS decontamination heaters, CDA dust calibrations, and Magnetosphere and Plasma Science (MAPS) observations after the HGA was pointed toward Earth. During the initial part of the subphase (C17 and part of C18), telecommunications were via LGA1, and the spacecraft was at the farthest distance from Earth before transitioning to the HGA for regular use. Therefore, data rates were very low and activities were kept to a minimum. C17 included standard maintenance and one Periodic Engineering Maintenance (PEM) activity. Activities during the LGA1 portion of C18 included a Periodic Instrument Maintenance (PIM); observations by ISS, VIMS, and UVIS of the asteroid Masursky near closest approach (1,634,000 km); and ISS dark frame calibration images directly following the Masursky observations. The HGA was turned toward Earth for regular use on 1 February 2000, during C18. Several activities took place during the rest of C18, using the greater telemetry capabilities available with the HGA: playback of the Masursky data and ISS dark frames, a Probe checkout, a Huygens Probe S-band Relay to Cassini Test, a Telemetry-Ranging Interference Test, MAG calibrations, and a PEM. Regular MAPS observations by CAPS, CDA, MAG, MIMI, and RPWS began within a few days after transitioning to the HGA. The first 6 weeks of C19 were used for a checkout of new Flight Software. The AACS version A7 software was uploaded near the beginning of this period, and the first 2 weeks were devoted to AACS tests. The next 4 weeks were originally scheduled for CDS tests of version V7.0. However, these tests were delayed to late July and August of 2000 to allow time for additional regression testing. During the AACS checkout period, MAPS activity ceased. Several activities took place during the last 3 weeks of C19: resumption of MAPS observations, three RSS activities (HGA pattern calibration, HGA boresight calibration, and USO characterization), CIRS Cooler Cover release, and a PIM. A few days before the end of C19, the command loss timer setting was increased slightly, to account for the 10-day period at the beginning of C20 during which superior conjunction made commanding problematic. INSTRUMENT CHECKOUT 2 2000-05-06 to 2000-11-05 2000-127 to 2000-310 --------------------- The second instrument checkout subphase (ICO-2) was scheduled from 6 May 2000 to 5 November of 2000, after the Spacecraft Office had completed its engineering checkout activities. ICO-2 included instrument checkout that required reaction wheel stability and any instrument checkouts that were not successfully completed during ICO-1. But the CDS Flight Software V7 uplink and checkout, which was delayed from March, was rescheduled to late July through early September 2000, causing many ICO-2 activities to be compressed into a shorter and more intense period. Some activities were postponed until after the Jupiter observations were completed in 2001. The subphase began with a superior conjunction, which precluded early science or engineering activities. MAPS instruments remained on; but data return was not attempted during conjunction. Two TCMs were scheduled for Jupiter targeting, in June and September. Engineering activities included the continuous use of reaction wheels and, beginning on 1 October 2000, dual Solid State Recorders (SSRs). There were no scheduled instrument PIMs during ICO-2 since all instruments had other activities that accomplished this function. Other engineering activities included two Reaction Wheel Assembly (RWA) friction tests, two PEMs, and an SRU calibration. Science activities began with the MAPS instruments continuing from C19. New flight software was loaded for eight instruments in late May, and a CDA software update was done in September. New Quiet Tests, while operating on reaction wheels, were done in July for most instruments. RSS Quiet Tests were done in September, and RADAR related tests were done in late June. A Probe checkout occurred in late July. Spacecraft turns were done for RADAR observations of the Sun and Jupiter in June and again in September. The star Alpha Piscis Austrinus (Fomalhaut) was also observed in September by VIMS with ISS and UVIS doing ride-along science. No other science turns were scheduled until October. On 1 October, science began using a repeating 5-day template to gather Jupiter science. This involved 11 turns in a 5 day period, including two downlinks. The turns in the 5-day template involved 4 orientations: Orbiter Remote Science (ORS) boresights to Jupiter, Z axis parallel to ecliptic HGA to Sun, rolling about Z axis Probe to Sun, rotating about X axis HGA to Earth, Probe offset from Sun for CDA, not rotating, downlink orientation JUPITER CRUISE 2000-11-05 to 2001-04-30 2000-310 to 2001-120 -------------- The Jupiter Cruise subphase extended from 6 November 2000 to 29 April 2001 and included sequences C23 to C25. However Jupiter remote sensing observations actually began on 1 October 2000, in C22. JUPITER ENCOUNTER 2000-12-30 2000-365 The Jupiter flyby occurred on 30 December 2000 at an altitude of 9.7 million km. This gravity assist rotated the trajectory 12 deg and increased the heliocentric velocity by 2 km/s. The Jupiter relative speed at closest approach was 11.6 km/s. At closest approach, Jupiter filled the Narrow Angle Camera (NAC) field of view. Extensive Jupiter science was performed which required additional DSN support: up to two passes every five days, and a maximum of one pass every 30 hours in the 10 days on either side of closest approach. Science at Jupiter was an opportunity to test how to build and execute viable Saturn sequences. A problem with the Reaction Wheel Assembly occurred on 16 December 2000. Increased friction on one of the wheels caused the spacecraft to switch autonomously to the Reaction Control Subsystem (RCS) for attitude control. With the switch to RCS, hydrazine usage increased. Two of four joint CAPS-Hubble Space Telescope observations, a Jupiter North-South map, the Himalia 'flyby', and a UVIS torus observation were all executed on RCS before the sequence was terminated on 19 December 2000. MAPS data continued to be recorded at a reduced rate. All other planned science activities were suspended. After tests, RWA operation was resumed for attitude control on 22 December, with the wheels biased away from low RPM regions. The sequence was restarted on 29 December. QUIET CRUISE 2001-04-30 to 2002-07-08 2001-120 to 2002-189 ------------ Quiet Cruise was a 14 month subphase that started at the end of Jupiter Cruise and ended two years before SOI. During this subphase, routine maintenance, engineering, and navigation functions were carried out. One Gravitational Wave Experiment (GWE) was conducted in December 2001, and one Solar Conjunction Experiment (SCE) was conducted in June 2002. SCIENCE CRUISE 2002-07-08 to 2004-06-10 2002-189 to 2004-162 ---------------- SPACE SCIENCE 2002-07-08 to 2004-01-11 2002-189 to 2004-011 The Space Science subphase began on 8 July 2002 and ran through 11 January 2004. TCMs 18 and 19, two GWEs (December 2002 and December 2003) and one SCE (June-July 2003) were conducted. APPROACH SCIENCE 2004-01-12 to 2004-06-10 2004-012 to 2004-162 The Approach Science subphase began six months before SOI and ended three weeks before SOI, when the spacecraft was approaching Saturn at a rate of 5 kilometers per second. Most of the activities during the Approach Science subphase were Saturn science observations and preparation for the Phoebe flyby, SOI, and Tour operations. The reaction wheels were turned on at the beginning of the subphase to provide a more stable viewing platform. By this point, the imaging instruments had begun atmospheric imaging, and making long-term atmospheric movies. CIRS began long integrations of Saturn's disk. At SOI - 4 months, Saturn filled one third of the NAC field of view and one half of the CIRS Far Infrared (FIR) field of view. The Saturn approach was made toward the morning terminator at a phase angle of about 75 degrees; VIMS gathered data on the temperature difference across the terminator. UVIS scans of the Saturn System began 3-4 months before SOI. Fields, particles, and waves instruments collected solar wind information and recorded Saturn emissions as the spacecraft neared the planet. Science data gathered during this period was stored on the SSR and transmitted back to Earth. Daily DSN tracking coverage began 90 days before SOI. The Phoebe approach TCM took place on 27 May 2004, 15 days before Phoebe closest approach. TOUR PRE-HUYGENS 2004-06-11 to 2004-12-24 2004-163 to 2004-359 ---------------- The Tour Pre-Huygens Phase extended from the Phoebe Encounter through Saturn Orbit Insertion to separation of the Huygens Probe from the Cassini Orbiter. PHOEBE ENCOUNTER 2004-06-11 2004-163 The flyby of Phoebe occurred on 11 June 2004, 19 days before SOI. At closest approach (19:33 UTC) the spacecraft was 2000 km above the surface. SATURN ORBIT INSERTION 2004-07-01 2004-183 During Saturn Orbit Insertion (SOI) on 1 July 2004, the spacecraft made its closest approach to the planet's surface (until the Grand Finale in 2017) at an altitude of only 0.3 Saturn radii (18,000 km). Due to this unique opportunity, the approximately 95-minute SOI burn (633 m/s total delta-V), required to place Cassini in orbit around Saturn, was executed earlier than its optimal point centered around periapsis, and instead ended near periapsis, allowing science observations immediately after burn completion. The SOI maneuver placed the spacecraft in an initial orbit with a periapsis radius of 1.3 Rs, a period of 148 days, and an inclination of 16.8 degrees. After the burn, the spacecraft was turned to allow the ORS instruments to view the Saturn inner rings that were not in shadow. After periapsis, the trajectory just grazed the occultation zones behind the planet with the Earth and Sun being occulted by Saturn. After communication with Earth was re-established, the spacecraft remained on Earth pointed for nine hours to play back engineering and science data and to give ground personnel time to evaluate the spacecraft status. After SOI a pair of cleanup maneuvers was used to correct for errors in the SOI burn. The first was immediately before superior conjunction, at SOI + 3 days, and the second was after conjunction at SOI + 16 days. Probe checkouts were scheduled at SOI + 14 days, Probe Release Maneuver (PRM) + 4 days, and ten days before separation. The partial orbit between SOI and the first apoapsis was designated orbit 0. The next three orbits were designated a, b, and c. TITAN A ENCOUNTER 2004-10-26 2004-300 TITAN B ENCOUNTER 2004-12-13 2004-348 HUYGENS DESCENT 2004-12-24 to 2005-01-14 2004-359 to 2005-014 --------------- HUYGENS PROBE SEPARATION 2004-12-24 2004-359 The probe was released from the Orbiter on 24 December 2004, 11 days after the second Titan flyby (orbit b). Two days after the Probe was released, the Orbiter executed a deflection maneuver to place itself on the proper trajectory for the third encounter. TITAN C HUYGENS 2005-01-14 2005-014 During the third flyby (orbit c), on 14 January 2005, the Huygens Probe transmitted data to the orbiter for approximately 150 minutes during its descent through the atmosphere to the surface. Because the Orbiter was looking at Titan through most of the corresponding Goldstone tracking pass, DSN support on this day was primarily through the 70-meter antennas at the Canberra and Madrid tracking complexes. While approaching Titan, the Orbiter made its last downlink transmission (to the Madrid station, DSS 63) before switching to Probe relay mode. The Orbiter then turned nearly 180 degrees to point its HGA at the predicted Probe impact point, and the Probe Support Avionics (PSA) were configured to receive data from the Probe. Some Orbiter instruments were put into a low power state to provide additional power for the PSA. The data from the Probe were transmitted at S band in two separate data streams, and both were recorded on each SSR. Following completion of the predicted descent (maximum 150 minutes), the Orbiter listened for Probe signals for an additional 30 minutes, in case they continued after landing. When data collection from the Probe was completed, those data were write protected on each SSR. The spacecraft then turned to view Titan with optical remote sensing instruments until about one hour after closest approach. The Orbiter then turned the HGA towards Earth and began transmitting the recorded Probe data to the Canberra 70-m antenna. The complete, four-fold redundant set of Probe data was transmitted twice, and its receipt verified, before the write protection on that portion of the SSR was lifted by ground command. A second playback, including all of the Probe data and the Orbiter instrument observations, was returned over the subsequent Madrid 70-meter tracking pass, which was longer and at higher elevation angles. TOUR 2005-01-14 to 2008-06-30 2005-014 to 2008-182 ---- The Tour Phase of the mission began at completion of the Huygens Probe and Orbiter-support playback and ended on 30 June 2008. It included dozens of satellite encounters and extended observations of Saturn, its rings, and its environment of particles and fields. TOUR SEQUENCE BOUNDARIES The table below shows spacecraft background sequences, orbit revolution, start epoch (including day-of-year in a separate column), and the length of the sequence. For completeness, all 'S' sequences are listed even though the first seven covered times before the Tour phase. Each orbit about Saturn was assigned a revolution identifier starting with a, b, and c, and then numerically ascending from 3 to 74; these were not synchronous with sequences, some of which covered only partial orbits. Full orbits began and ended at apoapsis; the partial orbit from SOI to the first apoapsis was orbit 0.

MISSION 2008-06-30 2008-182 -------------------- Equinox (EXTENDED MISSION) 2008-07-01 to 2010-09-29 2008-183 to 2010-272 ---------------- The Cassini prime mission was the most complex gravity-assist tour ever flown. The extended mission maintained this level of design and navigational complexity in order to meet and balance the myriad of disparate scientific objectives requested by the Cassini discipline working groups within the 2.25-year time frame. As a result, compared to the prime mission, the EM trajectory clearly meets or exceeds the intensity of scientific opportunities. The two-year extension consists of 28 close Titan flybys, twelve close icy satellite flybys (of which eight are of Enceladus), 64 orbits around Saturn, and dozens more radio and Solar occultations by Saturn, its rings, and Titan. The EM began at high inclination, where the prime mission left off, with the apoapsis of its orbit oriented nearly sunward. This geometry was maintained for nine months for continued in-situ study of Saturn's auroral region, complementing incomplete observations made at the end of the prime mission. Also, these high inclinations allowed for high priority stellar occultations by the main rings, particularly the very dense B ring. Since one of the ring-plane crossings of this orbit geometry was near Enceladus, it was also possible to insert three low Enceladus flybys during this phase while meeting the other objectives. Lastly, the Titan flybys during this high inclination phase were designed to obtain a mid-northern latitude Titan radio occultation and a high quality groundtrack over the Huygens landing site. This first phase completed with a short Titan-Titan 'Pi-transfer' phase, with the first encounter on one side of Titan's orbit and the second encounter one-half of one orbit later, on the opposite side of Titan's orbit. This creative strategy was implemented by the Cassini tour designers as a highly efficient method to transfer the orbit from one side of Saturn to another, speeding up the exploration of the environment compared to a more conventional, encounter-by-encounter rotation. The second major phase of the EM took place over six months in the poorly sampled 'dusk sector' of Saturn, i.e. the side outward from Saturn's dusk terminator. This phase contained the Saturnian equinox in mid-August 2009, and was Cassini's only chance to study this infrequent geometric event, as it only occurs every 15 years. During this equinox viewing phase, Cassini's orbit inclination was slowly reduced, offering a generous variety of observation geometries for Saturn's rings, where the bulk of the equinox-related objectives are focused. In addition, Titan flyby geometries allowed for key high-resolution radar mapping and Titan occultations. The third major phase was dominated by equatorial orbits and icy satellite encounters. The fourth through seventh Enceladus encounters occur here, as well as close flybys of Mimas, Dione, Rhea, and Helene (a Dione coorbital). Two of the Enceladus encounters, E7 and E9, were designed to pass deep within the plume emanating from the southern polar region. In addition, two high quality horizontal (ansa to ansa) ring occultations, long Saturn observation opportunities, a Titan wake crossing, and mid-northern latitude Saturn occultations were included in this icy satellite and ansa-to-ansa occultation phase. The final phase of the Equinox Mission was several months long, and contains a series of short Titan transfers designed for gravity measurements, more high northern Titan observations, and a third horizontal ring occultation. It is generally referred to as the high northern Titan groundtrack phase.

2017-258 ------------------------- At the conclusion of the Equinox Mission, Cassini initiated a seven-year mission extension called the Solstice Mission (SM) to end on 15 September 2017. This mission continued to explore the features of the Saturnian system such as the rings, the magnetosphere, Titan, and the icy satellites, especially Enceladus. The seven-year extension also allowed for observation of the northern summer solstice at Saturn to assess seasonal changes. The science objectives required a mix of equatorial and inclined orbits, thus the mission consisted of six phases: two equatorial phases, three inclined phases, and the proximal orbits phase. Equitorial orbits are necessary for icy moon flybys and ring-free Saturn observations, while inclined orbits are necessary for rings studies and high-latitude Titan mapping. These differing geometries and science objectives would have been quite costly, in terms of propellant, to interleave (as seen in the PM and EM), but by segmenting the mission design into phases of similar orbit inclinations, the tour was able to achieve all science objectives while efficiently utilizing the available propellant. Phase 1 In-0: T71-T73 This four-month segment consisted of resonant Titan-to-Titan transfers to decrease the orbit inclination and set up for the first equatorial phase of SM. A 5:4 resonant transfer from T71-T72 enabled the E11 flyby and multiple radioscience ring occultations. The T72-T73 transfer yielded two UVIS Saturn occultations in the northern hemisphere at mid- latitudes. The E11 flyby geometry enabled optimal coverage and resolution for thermal and multispectral imaging of the south pole tier stripes. This was also the last opportunity for close-in visual imaging of the tiger stripes before the south pole entered total darkness. Note that T71 and T72 actually occurred during the last three months of EM (aka the 'bridge'). The original EM tour was designed through June 2010 and the final three months of EM were designed at the same time as the SM. Phase 2 Eq-1: T73-T83 The 18-month equatorial phase was designed to enable unobstructed (by the rings) Saturn observations, occultations, and icy flybys. During this phase, the orbit apoapsis was rotated towards noon to enable high- latitude Saturn occultations. By rotating earlier in local solar time, an optimal spacecraft orbit was set up for capturing high-priority ring and Saturn occultations in the next phase. Many of the Titan flybys during this phase had low solar phase groundtracks which were ideal for ISS and VIMS observations. T75 passed through Titan's magnetospheric wake which provided excellent MAPS observations. The T78 flyby provided mid-latitude UVIS and RSS Titan occultations at both ingres and egress. There were also two very high targeted Titan flybys in this phase, T80 and T81, with a ~30,000 km flyby altitude. These two flybys were ideal for ISS imaging of the moon's surface. With the exception of T83, all Titan flybys in Eq-1 were above 1400 km in altitude. At 1400 km and greater altitudes, Titan's atmospheric effects on the spacecraft are not a concern and RCS thruster control was not needed. Thus, nearly two years elapsed between low Titan flybys that required RCS thruster control. Ten icy flybys, eight of which were Enceladus flybys, occurred during Eq-1. E12 and E13 were both northern hemisphere flybys of Enceladus at an altitude of 50 km. These are the only two Enceladus flybys in SM that did not provide coverage of the moon's southern hemisphere. R3, a 75 km flyby of Rhea, was designed to provide measurements of the interplanetary meteoroid mass flux coming into the Saturn system. E14 (100 km), E17 (75 km), and E18 (75 km) passed beneath the south pole of Enceladus for in-situ sampling of the plumes. E15, a 1236 km altitude flyby, achieved the first and only triple UVIS stellar occultation of the plume in the Cassini mission. The three stars passed horizontally behind the plume at varying distances from the moon's surface which enabled characterization of the plume in two dimensions. The E16 flyby (500 km) was optimized for RADAR and provided the first synthetic aperture radar images of the moon. E19 (75 km) was designed as a gravity flyby for radio science and passed over the moon's south pole. D3, a 100 km altitude flyby of Dione, was designed to pass through the wake region in order to address key MAPS science objectives about geologic activity on Dione. D3 and T79 was a double flyby; the only one to occur in SM. A double flyby is a back-to-back flyby of Titan and another icy satellite (in this case Dione) without any maneuvers between the flybys. Only one of the flybys can be targeted and the actual trajectory at the time of the maneuver design determines which body will be targeted. For the D3-T79 double flyby, T79 was targeted. Phase 3 In-1: T83-T110 The first inclined phase spans from 22 May 2012 - 16 March 2015. The phase is further subdivided into sub-phases (In-1A, In-1B, and In-1C) based upon the the unique geometries of each sub-phase. In-1A: T83 - T91 In the first In-1 sub-phase, short period, resonant orbits increase inclina- tion from 0deg - 61.7deg. The inclined orbits offer ample opportunities for ring and Saturn occultations, Titan flybys, and ring observations. There are ring and/or Saturn occultations on all Titan-to-Titan transfers (revs 167-190) during this phase providing ample RSS and UVIS occultation opportunities. By mid to late 2013, further atmospheric occultations are precluded at all latitudes except near Saturn's equator because the rings encompass the planet's poles as viewed from Earth. Titan surface coverage consists mostly of low altitude (ideal for RADAR and in-situ atmospheric measurements), low solar phase (ideal for high-resolution ORS imaging) groundtracks covering latitudes from the equator to the north pole. The T88 flyby (1014 km) will provide coverage of the Huygens landing site. T89 (1978 km) was designed as a radio science gravity flyby. R4, a 997 km flyby of Rhea, is the only targeted icy satellite flyby to occur on an inclined rev. The flyby was designed for RSS gravity measurements. In-1B: T91 - T101 The In-1B sub-phase was designed to provide low phase, northern and southern Titan coverage and multiple inclined passages through Saturn's magnetotail region. A series of longer period, resonant orbits reduces inclination from 61.7deg to 40.7deg for this sub-phase. The T91 - T95 groundtracks provide more northern hemisphere coverage at low altitude and a range of latitudes. T96 passes directly over Ontario Lacus in the southern hemisphere; this is a high priority science target. The T95 to T96 transfer causes periapse to move from just before Titan to just after Titan (e.g. switches from outbound to inbound). This geometry places apoapsis near Saturn's equitorial plane to enable distance magnetotail crossings. The T100 to T101 transfer implements an inbound to outbound pi-transfer to set up the orbit orientation needed for the final phases of the mission. The exact location of the magnetotail is unpredictable, but it is known to reside near the Sun-Saturn line at large distances from the planet near midnight LST. Inclined orbits with apoapsis near midnight LST are preferred over equatorial orbits since the bounding declination of the magnetotail can vary. Six magnetotail passages at a variety of distances ranging in duration from 60 - 215 hours will occur during this subphase. In-1C: T101 - T110 The overall theme of the third In-1 sub-phase is Titan occultations and inclination reduction. However, the first three Titan flybys (T101 - T103) increase inclination instead of decreasing in order to achieve three UVIS and RSS Titan occultations. These occultations enable atmospheric studies of Titan's polar regions; the groundtracks are located over Titan's south- ern hemisphere at high solar phase. The remaining flybys in the sub-phase (T104 - T109) decrease orbit inclination to set up for the next phase. The groundtracks for T104 - T109 are all over the northern hemisphere at low solar phase. Phase 4 Eq-2: T110-T114 The fourth phase which was the second equatorial phase of the SM spans from 16 March 2015 - 13 November 2015. This phase extends the temporal baseline for ring-free Saturn observations, incorporates two close flybys of both Enceladus and Dione, and a distant flyby of Enceladus. Orbit apoapsis is rotated later in LST to set up the node for the inclined proximal orbits at end of mission. E21 (50 km) was the final passage through Enceladus' plumes in SM and the last opportunity for MAPS in-situ measurements of the plumes. E20 (1840 km) was allocated for ORS observations. MAPS observations were planned for D4 (516 km) and RSS gravity measurements were planned for D5 (475 km). The T110 groundtrack was planned for ORS observations of the northern lakes region. T111 - T113 groundtracks lie near Saturn's equator. Phase 5 In-2: T114-T126 In In-2, inclination is gradually increased from near zero to 63.8deg and periapse distance is reduced to just outside the F-ring. These orbits set up the conditions necessary to enable the proximal orbits, but they are also ideal for ring observations and close flybys of the innermost, small icy moons. Phase 6 Proximal Orbits Phase In anticipation of possible planetary protection requirements, the project decided that the SM design must preclude the possibility of future impact with any of the large icy moons such as Enceladus. A variety of end-of- mission scenarios were considered, but one option, a series of close-in orbits culminating with impact into Saturn, stood out from the others. Saturn impact ultimately vaporizes the spacecraft in the planet's atmos- sphere precluding any further contact with other bodies in Saturn system and the close-in orbits (a.k.a. proximal orbits) enable very unique science opportunities. This option, strongly favored by the project and the outer outer planets science community, was incorporated into the SM design. Beginning in April 2017, Cassini dove through the approximately 2,000 kilometer-wide gap between Saturn and its rings. No other spacecraft had ever explored this unique region. A final close flyby of the moon Titan on April 22 used the moon's gravity to reshape Cassini's trajectory so that the spacecraft leapt over the planet's icy rings to pass between the rings and Saturn. During 22 such passes over about five months, the spacecraft's altitude above Saturn's clouds varied from about 1,600 to 4,000 kilometers thanks to occasional distant passes by Titan that shifted the closest approach distance. At times, Cassini skirted the very inner edge of the rings; at other times, it skimmed the outer edges of the atmosphere. During its final five orbits, its orbit passed through Saturn's uppermost atmosphere, before finally plunging directly into the planet on Sept. 15, 2017.

10:33 258 -60268 in 34.0 35 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The Cassini navigation team has discovered that it is possible to move the spacecraft orbit's inner ring-plane crossing all the way over Saturn's entire main ring system, from just beyond the F ring, to the cleared gap between Saturn's upper atmosphere and inner portion of the main rings, using one single Titan flyby. So far, it has been impossible to get very close to Saturn itself due to the presence of the main rings out to over 140,000 km from the center of Saturn. During SOI the spacecraft passed 18,000 km from the cloud tops, and that is the closest the project ever expected to get to the planet and rings, enabled by the hyperbolic approach trajectory. It was thought that there was no feasible way to construct an orbit with reasonable period that gets any closer to Saturn and yet does not pass through the main rings - the implementation of which would undoubtedly destroy the spacecraft. No safe gaps in the main ring system exist that could be employed as intermediate steps. This proximal orbit geometry is implemented by raising the orbit inclination to a moderately high level (~63 degrees) and placing the inner ring-plane crossing barely but safely outside the main rings. The other ring-plane crossing is located at Titan, as usual, since Cassini must continually encounter Titan to employ its significant gravity assist resources. Then, with one flyby, the orbit is altered to move the ring-plane crossing to between 2,000 to 5,000 above the 'cloud tops' of Saturn (1 bar level). The environment is known well enough for the project to conclude with sufficient confidence that the risk of debris impact or atmospheric tumbling is acceptably small. Furthermore, the radiation environment is not significantly different from that experienced during SOI. The proposed end phase includes 22 orbits in this region, called proximal orbits. This Juno-like mission phase offers significant unique science opportunities for Cassini, including gravity mapping measurements, high resolution ring observations, and in-situ measurements of Saturn's atmosphere. Final disposal of the spacecraft will take place within Saturn's atmosphere on 15 September 2017. This entire trajectory, starting after the last targeted proximal-injecting Titan flyby, is entirely ballistic, requiring no further maneuvers. In other words, the end of mission is assured regardless of the spacecraft condition. It is anticipated that this disposal strategy will be acceptable for Planetary Protection. END OF MISSION --------------" MISSION_OBJECTIVES_SUMMARY = " CASSINI-HUYGENS MISSION OBJECTIVES ================================== The Cassini-Huygens mission will accomplish a variety of scientific objectives en route to and at Saturn [JPL D-5564]. While en route to Saturn, Cassini performed three sets of Gravitational Wave Experiments (GWEs), each scheduled near opposition and each lasting approximately 40 days. During these observations, Cassini acted as a point mass which would be perturbed by propagating gravitational waves resulting from sudden destruction (or creation) of large masses in the general direction of the spacecraft-to-Earth line. While en route to Saturn, Cassini was also used in two Solar Conjunction Experiments (SCEs), each lasting approximately 30 days. The objectives of these observations was to test general relativity and to improve our understanding of the solar corona. The general scientific objectives of the Cassini mission at Saturn were to investigate the physical, chemical, and temporal characteristics of Titan and of Saturn, its atmosphere, rings, icy satellites, and magnetosphere. These are listed more specifically below: Saturn (Planet) Objectives. -------------------------- a) Determine temperature field, cloud properties, and composition of the atmosphere of Saturn. b) Measure the global wind field, including wave and eddy components; observe synoptic cloud features and processes. c) Infer the internal structure and rotation of the deep atmosphere. d) Study the diurnal variations and magnetic control of the ionosphere of Saturn. e) Provide observational constraints (gas composition, isotope ratios, and heat flux, etc.) on scenarios for the formation and the evolution of Saturn. f) Investigate the sources and the morphology of Saturn lightning, Saturn Electrostatic Discharges (SED), and whistlers. Titan Objectives. ---------------- a) Determine abundance of atmospheric constituents (including any noble gases), establish isotope ratios for abundant elements, constrain scenarios of formation and evolution of Titan and its atmosphere. b) Observe vertical and horizontal distributions of trace gases, search for more complex organic molecules, investigate energy sources for atmospheric chemistry, and model the photochemistry of the stratosphere, study formation and composition of aerosols. c) Measure winds and global temperatures; investigate cloud physics, general circulation, and seasonal effects in Titan's atmosphere; search for lightning discharges. d) Determine the physical state, topography, and composition of the surface; infer the internal structure of the satellite. e) Investigate the upper atmosphere, its ionization, and its role as a source of neutral and ionized material for magnetosphere of Saturn. Ring Objectives. --------------- a) Study configuration of the rings and dynamical processes (gravitational, viscous, erosional, and electromagnetic) responsible for ring structure. b) Map composition and size distribution of ring material. c) Investigate interrelation of rings and satellites, including embedded satellites. d) Determine dust and meteoroid distribution in the vicinity of the rings. e) Study interactions between the rings and Saturn's magnetosphere, ionosphere, and atmosphere. Icy Satellite Objectives. ------------------------ a) Determine the general characteristics and geological histories of the satellites. b) Define the mechanisms of crustal and surface modifications, both external and internal. c) Investigate the compositions and distributions of surface materials, particularly dark, organic rich materials and low melting point condensed volatiles. d) Constrain models of the satellites' bulk compositions and internal structures. e) Investigate interactions with the magnetosphere and ring systems and possible gas injections into the magnetosphere. Magnetosphere Objectives ------------------------ a) Determine the configuration of the nearly axially symmetric magnetic field and its relation to the modulation of Saturn Kilometric Radiation (SKR). b) Determine current systems, composition, sources, and sinks of magnetosphere charged particles. c) Investigate wave-particle interactions and dynamics of the dayside magnetosphere and the magnetotail of Saturn and their interactions with the solar wind, the satellites, and the rings. d) Study the effect of Titan's interaction with the solar wind and magnetospheric plasma. e) Investigate interactions of Titan's atmosphere and exosphere with the surrounding plasma."
