I noticed the JPL site mentioning a Helene flyby scheduled for Feb 25, 2006. It's still a long way away, but does anyone know how distant the flyby will be and will any actual science be taken?
It happens two days before yet another Titan flyby so I'm inclined to think this is a serendipous close approach... -------------------- |

The latest information I've seen shows C/A at ~67,670 km, v = 7.1 km/s, and phase angle of 92 degress. |
