For over a decade Cassini has shared the
wonders of Saturn and its family of icy moons.
Taking us to astounding worlds
where methane rivers run to a methane sea.
Where jets of ice and gas are
blasting material into space from a
liquid water ocean that might harbour the
ingredients for life
And Saturn; A giant world ruled by raging storms and delicate harmonies of gravity.
Now Cassini has one last daring
assignment.
Cassini's grand finale is a brand new
adventure; 22 dives through the space
between Saturn and its rings.
As it repeatedly braves this unexplored region, Cassini seeks new insights about the origins of the rings,
and the nature of the planet's interior. Closer to Saturn than ever before.
On the final orbit, Cassini will plunge
into Saturn fighting to keep its antenna
pointed at Earth as it transmits its farewell.
In the skies of Saturn, the journey ends,
as Cassini becomes part of the planet itself.
