A question I had about the Galileo mission (that I never bothered to ask), and one that I have about this one is: is Cassini performing regular radio occultation experiments each time it passes behind Saturn? It seems to make sense that it is, but IIRC I haven't seen any mention of such profiles in press releases, perhaps because it's mundane or taken for granted.

Master Betty: Nyah. Haha. It is EVIL, it is so EVIL. It is a bad, bad plan, which will hurt many... people... who are good. I think it's great that it's so bad.
