The Cassini Ion Neutral Mass Spectrometer (Cassini INMS) continues to return a wealth of information about the Saturn satellites, Titan and Enceladus. Earlier data from Titan shows an unanticipated organic complexity in the upper atmosphere and the isotopic ratios of H, C, and N harbor important clues about the evolution of the atmosphere over geological time. Recent results from Enceladus indicate an unanticipated organic complexity in the Plume that is quite different from that at Titan. In addition, the measureable presence of 40Ar and ammonia indicate a liquid interior. A D/H ratio that is cometary speaks to the origin and formation of icy bodies in the outer solar system.
