Cassini Death Dive
Posted: Thu Sep 14, 2017 6:22 pm
The end is nigh for NASA's Cassini spacecraft, which is now less
than 48 hours away from its scheduled death dive into Saturn.
At NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in southern California,
mission scientists are now preparing to receive Cassini's final
data transmissions early Friday morning (Sept. 15). Heat and
friction created by the fall will cause Cassini to break apart,
and its components to vaporize, only 2 or 3 minutes after it enters
Saturn's atmosphere.

Wade says, "NOVA has a special on the spacecraft which should air
again this weekend. There it not much worth looking at on the Jew
Tube these days but this one is an exception! Well worth the watch,
and is a freebee! Just stick your Rabbit Ears into the air and
Presto! Very kewel! Also neat snaps of the flight crew! Never saw
so many lily-White faces in my life!"
