Does anyone know what Cassini's current data transmission rate is? I figured it would be higher now that Saturn has reached opposition with Earth. I know that made a difference with Galileo.

(The real shocker is the huge amount of data returned by the plasma and plasma-wave experiments.)


It's been my thought too. ISS much less than ten percent of the total data volume! WAC and NAC (together with PWS) were sending by far the most bits from Voyager. The fields and particel instruments (and even the spectrometers) were in the few hundred bps area.

Considering Galileo's antenna problems, that's probably more than Galileo sent its entire lifetime.


Definitely yes. Galileo was transmitting at 100bps or a little more (less than 1000bps).
