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.

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.

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.

The Gory Details Mar 11, 2008 08:34:30 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.
