Joe that's an inspirational piece of work! - many thanks for sharing it with us.
Am I right in concluding that the sequence planners may have allowed for some saturnshine exposures on the outbound leg? I think the camera pointing into space is a consequence of other instruments being 'prime' during the very closest approach, in order to get other data on the plumes themselves. Can't wait for the results on this one. |
