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

I use ftp://naif.jpl.nasa.gov/pub/naif/CASSINI/...09248_17265.bsp
This covers the period from mid-September 2009 until the end of the mission. You definitely want to switch to this as I am sure this will affect the timings of many of the non-targeted events. -------------------- &@^^!% Jim! I'm a geologist, not a physicist!

Aaaah that's the one to use, thanks a lot. Must have missed the file end date. Will update the flying distances in a couple of hours. I don't think it will change encounter times, I took those from http://www.mpi-hd.mpg.de/cassini/xxm/SM-7/SM-7_all.txt ... unfortunately I'm not blessed with trajectory analysis software etc that can nicely spit out encounters. I still live in the time of state vectors and Pythagoras ... and I am NOT going to calculate all those 1400+ events manually! -------------------- |
