One of you guys on the Cassini team needs to please get ahold of the webmaster for the official Cassini site, and tell them that the date on the simulator (Where is Cassini now?) is out of whack.
Tried sending a discreet email this afternoon, but ... |

I kind of lost track of when the C/A distance was set to 50 km as opposed to the 38 km figure stated earlier. What were the reasons the altitude was raised?
Great idea on a blog, too. Looking forward to new entries! -------------------- |

Thanks for pointing out the problem with the "Where is Cassini Now?" page- I just sent in a note about it.
The close approach distance on Rev. 61 was raised due to a desire to be a little more cautious about the plume hazard, I believe. We'll review the plume data from this flyby in order to decide whether to maintain the planned 21 km approach distance on Rev. 88. John. |
