Cassini Nears Saturn for Orbit After Seven-Year Voyage
The $3.3 billion Cassini mission, a NASA–ESA craft launched in 1997, closes in on Saturn after seven years in space. It will enter orbit June 30 to study Saturn, its rings, Titan probe, and 31 moons, aiming to reveal solar system formation clues. The first Saturn encounter occurred with Phoebe, a distant moon about 137 miles wide, within 1,240 miles of its surface.
