On the day of Cassini's insertion on Saturn's magnetosphere (July 1, 2004) a long (90 minute) burst of ion cyclotron waves was observed. These waves were left-hand, elliptically polarized, and propagated at relatively large angles to the ambient magnetic field. Previous work (Russell et al., 2005) showed that the waves' frequency band was moderately broad and consistent with the singly ionized components of the engine exhaust gases: CO2, N2, CO, and H2O. Thus, wave origin has been explained in terms of an ion instability generated by ring- beam ions produced from the engine exhaust gases. In this work we analyze in further detail waves' characteristics and evolution.
