Titan close flyby & gravity assist (T7) Altitude 1 075 km
Looking forward to the radar swath.  Note: As soon as a preview of the flyby is posted I'll surly link it.

When Cassini is near periapsis but outside magnetic field lines crossing through the main rings, it's in the highest intensity and highest energy-per-particle section of Saturn's radiation belts. Voyager and Pioneer showed the belts more or less start at Rhea's vicinity and get stronger at Dione and Tethy's radii. and are very strong inwards of Enceladus. Close to this small inner moon, the radiation is near the max possible at Saturn.

Not a healthy place for anything more than a brief visit, then... -------------------- Remember: Time Flies like the wind - but Fruit Flies like bananas!
