Some weird looking raws of Enceladus of what appears to be the moon entering Saturn's shadow. Solar System Simulator confirms this:

"The extended mission tour has already been chosen, with the usual uncertainties we know where the spacecraft is going to be until July 2010. .."
I know. I just don't recall much discussion, certainly no detailed discussion, of the sorts of observations planned at the time of solar ring-plane crossing, or what orbit the spacecraft will be in at that time. Most discussion centered on the Titan and Enceladus flybys, and dropping 1 Enceladus flyby to get some really good data on the other inner sats. |
