Scientific paper

On April 15 NASA announced that the Cassini spacecraft, currently surveying Saturn and its satellites, will have its mission extended by two further years. It was originally scheduled to end this July. The two-year extension will include 60 additional orbits of Saturn, 26 flybys of Titan, seven of Enceladus, and one each of Dione, Rhea and Helene. The extension also includes further studies of Saturn's rings, its complex magnetosphere, and the planet itself, and will enable imaging of the system as the Sun crosses the ring plane in 2009.
