Looks like we got some really good-quality data, and we'll be able to say something about surface composition at the south pole.

Cassini's closest flyby so far of Enceladus is rapidly approaching, and we here at the Max Planck Institute for Nuclear Physics in Heidelberg, Germany, can't bear the suspense any longer.

I'm very excited about today's Enceladus flyby, which will take us deeper into the plume than we've ever been before!

I can now report that, so far, we have successfully located the surface sources of the jets for which Enceladus has become renowned.

I knew the data would be coming in while I was in the air and was excited to check it all out once I landed.

How Hot Is Hot? Aug 13, 2008 01:06:50 PM | Saturn News
 
When I was a graduate student studying Enceladus with Voyager images, I had this sneaking suspicion that the little moon had active geysers, spewing fresh material into outer space.

Prepare to be Amazed! Aug 09, 2008 09:23:50 PM | Saturn News
 
This time, our encounter with Enceladus could be the best of them all for us imaging scientists, who are hoping to peer deep into the fractures at the surface sources of Enceladus' spectacular jets.

Well, now it can be told! It's frustrating for me to sit on exciting new results - when we've found something cool in our data I want to tell everyone all about it right away. But it's important to present mission results in a coherent and coordinated way.

It's been a whirlwind here at JPL as the data from the Enceladus flyby comes pouring in, and we scientists have been doing our thing . . . culling through it all!

Today's Enceladus flyby is a bit more adventurous than most satellite flybys by Cassini.

Enceladus Play-by-Play Movie Mar 14, 2008 09:58:35 AM | Saturn News
 
This is a neat movie put together by Brent Buffington, on the Cassini Navigation team. I love these kinds of movies, because you can really get a good idea of what the spacecraft is doing during a flyby.

Enceladus - Then and Now Mar 13, 2008 11:07:32 AM | Saturn News
 
As the hours tick down and Cassini gathers data during our closest flyby yet of Enceladus I am thinking about the two Voyager flybys of the Saturn system that took place over 25 years ago.

The Gory Details Mar 11, 2008 08:34:29 PM | Saturn News
 
For the nerds out there (you know who you are), here's a somewhat technical presentation that I gave a couple of weeks ago to the rest of the Satellites Orbiter Science Team (SOST) -- the group that plans the details of all the non-Titan satellite encounters.

Holding our Breaths Mar 10, 2008 07:50:03 PM | Saturn News
 
Two days before the close encounter with Enceladus, there's not much for us on the science team to do regarding the upcoming flyby except to hold our breaths and cross our fingers.
