Cassini has been orbiting around Saturn and visiting the moons of Titan.
Cassini which of course doesn't have people on board it has wonderful instruments on board and that the the the total payload of that thing is a few
And the Cassini spacecraft measured organic molecules coming out in that gas.
That was discovered by Cassini , an orbiter in the Saturn system that NASA and the Europeans sent together in 2003,
Many of the Cassini , things like that, all that groups meet together.
We actually flew our Cassini spacecraft through these jets coming out of Enceladus and we detected organic molecules, so we know that there is warm salt water,
around Saturn called Cassini , which of course doesn’t have people onboard.
So I told you that Cassini detected hydrogen coming out of the plume.
They're looking at shutting down Cassini and rovers on Mars.
And the landing component of the Cassini Huygens mission, actually the Huygens probe landed on Titan
This is an actual picture of Enceladus taken by the Cassini mission.
Now, Cassini is just plunging into Saturn as we speak.
we can build machines that are-- I saw the Cassini orbiter, Saturn orbiter on the floor of its factory
Very regularly, Cassini 's passing by, and mapping, and doing a number of things.
And so we keep studying all the data that comes back from Cassini .
nuclear waste facility in New Mexico, and the Cassini mission to Saturn.
Some of the people that are on-- for instance, Cassini retired before we ended up ditching Cassini in Saturn.
but I think it's very important, based on Cassini data.
As recently as 1997, there was all manner of outcry when the Cassini spacecraft was launched to Saturn,
Kevin is not only a PhD In planetary science known for his work on the Cassini -Huygens project at NASA, but he's also a writer, an educator,
So speaking of the atmosphere of Titan, now we have Cassini .
At NASA's JPL, Jet Propulsion Laboratory, he helped develop some of the nation's most advanced technologies in the Galileo mission to Jupiter, the Mars Observer, and the Cassini mission
So it feels, in a way, a lot more like some of the other big NASA missions, like Cassini , or these other things that
There seems to be lots of organics, up to at least-- Cassini detected up to carbon six organics.
Now, when we take the composition, that composition that comes out of Cassini , we put it in the ocean, and we shake it, and we run our geo-chemical models,
it's often the case that, you know, I'm giving some lecture on this the wonderful new images of Saturn from one of our spacecraft like Cassini and they're so beautiful and we're learning things
