I notice that the next flyby after next month's Titan flyby of any moon listed is not until July? What will Cassini be up to in the mean time? Some orbits with no satellite encounters to focus on the planet and rings? Any cool nontargeteds?

Cassini will be busy flying by 3 icy satellites

"The new baseline trajectory will now
include three close icy satellite flybys within 17 days - with no Titan
encounters between them - a feat that is extremely fortuitous, and on a par
with the alignment of the planets for Voyager's Grand Tour. The icy
satellite flybys in order are Tethys, Hyperion, and Dione. These are the
only close flybys of these bodies in the nominal mission."
