Scientific paper
An overview is presented of the encounter of Voyager 2 with the Saturnian system. Following an indication of the spacecraft trajectory through the Saturn system on its way to a 1986 encounter with Uranus, and the design and operation of the Voyager 2 scientific instruments, attention is given to the major scientific results of the encounters. These results include observations of similarities between the atmospheres of Saturn and Jupiter, studies of gaps in the rings and the eccentric ringlets within the gaps, imaging of the ring systems and satellites, particularly Phoebe, Iapetus, Hyperion, Tethys, Enceladus and the atmosphere of Titan, and studies of magnetospheric structures and dynamics responsible for Saturn radio emission.
