Cassini Significant Events for 10/05/06 - 10/11/06 The most recent spacecraft telemetry was acquired Wednesday, October 11, from the Goldstone tracking stations. The Cassini spacecraft is in an excellent state of health and is operating normally. Information on the present position and speed of the Cassini spacecraft may be found on the "Present Position" web page located at http://saturn.jpl.nasa.gov/operations/present-position.cfm Thursday, October 5 (DOY 278): An Integrated Test Laboratory (ITL) test for the Titan 20 flyby sequence was completed today. The test was designed to validate a sequence to obtain accelerometer data during the T20 flyby. A modification to the telemetry schedule was needed to collect the data every 8 seconds. T20 will occur during the execution of S25. A new image of Saturn demonstrates a technique that creates a 'Chinese lantern' effect, showing Saturn's deep clouds silhouetted against the planet's warm, glowing interior. Seen this way, Saturn's interior shows surprising activity underneath the overlying haze, with a great variety of cloud shapes and sizes.
