Here is a slightly different official view as given by the Cassini status report for April 6:

http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/cassini/...ini-040605.html

Considering that Cassini hasn't finished the first year of its four year primary mission in Saturn orbit and with a quarter of its instruments not performing properly, it seems odd that Mitchell says: "Cassini has been working remarkably well considering the duration and complexity of the mission."
