“Cassini has been an adventure of a lifetime, an extraordinary exploration of the most enchanting place in all the solar system,” said Carolyn Porco, leader of the Cassini Imaging Team. “It is a very happy day for us, knowing that Cassini lives and the adventure continues.” Cassini has already traveled 2.6 billion miles, and captured 210,000 images, but is in remarkably good shape. In the next seven years, it will orbit the planet 155 more times and complete 54 flybys of Titan and 11 flybys of our favorite moon, Enceladus. It will dive between Saturn and its iconic rings, gathering more data on the planet’s magnetosphere.
