Cassini probes Titan as it eyes Saturn moon’s surface
Cassini flies past Titan in its first approach and peers into the hazy atmosphere 200,000 miles away. Imaging chief Carolyn Porco notes limited clarity, while Linda Spilker explains the haze masks surface features. The mission, worth 3.3 billion dollars and launched in 1997, aims for a four year Saturn study with multiple Titan flybys and a January entry probe.
