Perhaps now would be a good time to start a new thread on the Extended-Extended Mission.

Updated my realtime simulation with the good news! Cassini has now completed 61.8% of its mission by time and 68% by distance flown. Distance to fly to impact estimated to be 2.5 bn km w.r.t. Sun, 16.9AU. Does anybody have a SPICE kernel for the extended mission?
Also updated the full mission timeline ... it's one long page by now! I assumed that it is still XXM - SM7 that's being flown. Go Cassini! -------------------- |
