Apparently they are very seriously considering it, at the cost of one targeted Titan flyby during the primary mission -- although it isn't clear yet just how close they may come, as compared to the original untargeted flyby of 33,000 km:
http://saturn.jpl.nasa.gov/news/sig-event-....cfm?newsID=555 The decision will be made tomorrow. If they go, there will be targeted flybys of Tethys, Hyperion and Dione within a month of each other, and of Rhea only about a month later. |
