Detailed analysis of Saturn’s gravitational field leads astronomers to believe that the deepest interior of Saturn must consist of a molten rock core about the same size as Earth, but much more massive …

Saturn is the next largest, at nine times bigger than Earth. Uranus and Neptune are both roughly four times larger than Earth. Despite their size, the Jovian planets have low densities because of their …

The Saturn-200 bus platform inherits fundamental architecture, software trunk and core components from our catalog of TRL-9 flight-proven buses, subsystems and precision components produced …

Enceladus (pronounced en-SELL-ah-dus) is an icy moon of Saturn with remarkable activity near its south pole. Covered in water ice that reflects sunlight like freshly fallen snow, Enceladus reflects …

Sep 2, 2023 · Cassini Magnetometer : Saturn Arrival Science Flux-gate Magnetometer (FGM) Vector/Scalar Helium Magnetometer (V/SHM) From Dougherty et al, recent issue of Science journal …

Determine the in situ noble gas, elemental, and isotopic abundances to understand conditions in the protosolar nebula, as well as constrain Saturn’s formation, evolution, and migration.

Since its 2004 arrival at Saturn, Cassini has shown that Europa isn’t an oddball: Potentially habitable ocean worlds exist even in the Saturn system — 10 times farther from the Sun than where Earth sits.

Saturn is the second largest planet in the Solar System. Like the other gaseous outer planets – Jupiter, Uranus and Neptune – it has an atmosphere made up mostly of hydrogen and helium.

The Cassini orbiter will orbit Saturn for 4 years. The spacecraft’s 12 onboard instruments will collect data about Saturn, the rings, the magnetosphere, Titan, and Saturn’s smaller moons.

eveloped that could enable many solar-powered missions to Saturn, its moons and beyond. This technology can be implemented on mission concepts such as the Enceladus Orbilander, Titan …
