Reviewed are CAPS positive ion measurements during the Cassini Enceladus encounters E3 (March 12, 2008), E5 (Oct 9, 2008) and E7 (Nov 2, 2009). If possible new CAPS data from E14 (Oct 1, 2011) will also be included. In these encounters plasma flow stagnation from momentum loading within the dense plume region and new water group and water cluster ion production are observed. Thermal ion density, flow velocity and temperature are estimated along the Cassini trajectory with the results similar for all three encounters even though charged dust is not detected during E7. These observations are compared with predictions from hybrid simulations including charged dust (Omidi et al., this meeting).
