I'm already looking forward to the extended mission. And one target I hope gets a closer look at is Iapetus.
(And yes I understand money and fuel are issues when it comes to this.) Close Ups of the that ridge would be very interesting. Along with some Radar Observations. Another reason is to get as much mapping done on all the major moons. What would you like to see in the extended mission? |

if i rember correctly, i read a while back on cassini webpage that some other options for the extended mission could include a trip back to jupiter or uranus via multiple titan assists

QUOTE (PaleBlueDot @ Apr 19 2005, 12:12 AM) if i rember correctly, i read a while back on cassini webpage that some other options for the extended mission could include a trip back to jupiter or uranus via multiple titan assists  That's exactly what i was thinking. Uranus would be my choice. But how can one escape from the saturnian system and later on brake in UOI with so little fuel left (how much is left actually ?) I bet a gravity assist from titan might help, but completely leave saturn needs a lot of fuel i'd say. |

Escaping Saturn for a later planetary flyby isn't possible. If Cassini could escape Saturn orbit it would end up in an orbit similar to Saturn's.
