Titan -3 Mission Description - Feb. 8, 2005

http://saturn.jpl.nasa.gov/multimedia/prod...yby20050207.pdf

The third targeted flyby of Titan occurs on Tuesday, February 15, 2005 at 6:58 SCET (Ground: 8:06 UTC -- 12:06 AM Pacific time). Cassini's closest approach to Saturn's largest satellite is at an altitude of 1577 km (980 miles) above the surface at a speed of 6.1 kilometers per second (14,000 mph). Titan has a diameter of 5150 km (3200 miles), so the spacecraft passes within 1.6 Titan radii.

I don't get it? Why does it say the encounter is on Saturday?

It doesn't, so far as I can tell.

What I want to know is: when do we get the scoop on the Enceladus flyby?
