Cassini's closest flyby of Titan will be Saturday, April 16, when the spacecraft comes within 1,025 kilometers (637 miles) above the moon's surface. The low altitude of this flyby may provide Cassini's fields and particles instruments important clues about the magnetosphere around Titan.
The Cassini-Huygens mission is a cooperative project of NASA, the European Space Agency and the Italian Space Agency. The Jet Propulsion Laboratory, a division of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, manages the mission for NASA's Science Mission Directorate, Washington, D.C. The Cassini orbiter and its two onboard cameras were designed, developed and assembled at JPL. The imaging team is based at the Space Science Institute, Boulder, Colo.
