The winner is (drum roll please) PF6h9. Officially adopted on Thursday. I haven't sifted through all the details yet, but from my parochial point of view, I know it includes seven close Enceladus flybys, so that's good. Most of the science groups (Titan, Rings, Magnetosphere, Saturn, and Icy Satellites) were pretty happy with this choice- it packs in an amazing number of science opportunities.

Was just about to post a link to it - excellent piece John - Suprised to see that Dave doesn't actually have a variety of orbits visualized above his head in some sort of orbital mechanics halo But then - if you put your OSX dock on the right side...there's just wierd...
