The Cassini spacecraft will be injected into Saturn orbit on July 1, 2004 by a 97 minutes burn of its main rocket engine north of the rings of the planet. The exhaust plume generated at a rate of about 150 g/s produces a comet-like structure ahead of the spacecraft interacting with the extremely thin plasma of the Kronian magneto sphere. We have investigated the interaction of this cloud with the magnetosphere in the framework of the subalfvenic Alfven wing picture to assess the magnitude of the magnetic perturbation signal relative to the accuracy needed for the determina tion of Saturns multipole magnetic field. Although the results are (fortunately!) undra matic from the latter point of view ,the physics involved is quite interesting and exci ting. We shall estimate the magnetic field perturbation, its changing geometry and possible dynamic phenomena.
