Physics & Astronomy
Colloquium
On June 30th 2004, the largest and most sophisticated spacecraft ever sent into deep space, the Cassini/Huygens probe, entered orbit around Saturn after nearly a seven year journey. This was the first step of Cassini's four-year nominal mission during which the spacecraft has been exploring Saturn, its rings, satellites, and magnetic environment, while the Huygens probe made in situ measurements of the satellite Titan last January. Dr. Kevin Grazier, Investigation Scientist and Science Planning Engineer on Cassini, will provide an overview of the mission, science objectives, and some of the recent science results.
