The voyage of Cassini from its launch in 1997 to its arrival at Saturn in July 2004 has allowed observation by the same instruments of a variety of plasma and radio wave emissions at different planets, and in the solar wind at different distances from the sun. Langmuir waves (also known as electron plasma oscillations) are one of these plasma wave emissions that has been detected by Cassini at a variety of locations, including upstream of Venus, Earth, Jupiter, and in the solar wind. Langmuir waves produced at the Saturnian bowshock are also expected to be detected as Cassini approaches Saturn. The characteristics of the Langmuir waves detected by Cassini will be examined and compared to previous observations by other spacecraft. The electric field amplitude and the amplitude probability distribution of the Langmuir waves will also be determined and compared to the various theories of Langmuir wave production and propagation, including strong turbulence and stochastic growth theory.
