The Cassini spacecraft - on its way to Saturn - explored the plasma environment of Jupiter during the millenium flyby near the ecliptic plane along the dusk side of the planet. In this paper I give a general overview of the Cassini-Huygens mission focusing on the plasma instruments onboard of Cassini, and summarize the main scientific concepts. The orbit of Cassini at Jupiter was oriented along the Jovian Bow Shock (BS), so there were several occasions for the spacecraft to intercept the BS and to detect other various types of plasma events too. Therefore I present some results concerning the BS crossings, and some of the events that are suggested to be the consequence of the interaction of the BS with the Solar Wind (SW) flow. The more precise analysis of these "unusual" events will be the subject of future studies.
