Enceladus is rapidly becoming a very interesting target for
Cassini. So much so that scientists and engineers are planning
to revise the altitude of the next flyby to get a closer look.
Additional Cassini encounters with Enceladus are scheduled for
July 14, 2005, and March 12, 2008. The July 14 flyby was to be
at an altitude of 1,000 kilometers (620 miles), but the mission
team now plans to lower that altitude to about 175 kilometers
(109 miles). This will be Cassini's lowest-altitude flyby of any
object during its nominal four-year tour.
