This gallery contains the full record of the Cassini spacecraft’s raw images taken from Feb 20, 2004 to Cassini’s end of mission on Sept 15, 2017 The archive will remain available to all as a historical record
- Cassini - NASA Solar System Exploration
Cassini's 12 science instruments were designed to carry out sophisticated scientific studies of Saturn, from collecting data in multiple regions of the electromagnetic spectrum, to studying dust particles, to characterizing Saturn's plasma environment and magnetosphere
- Cassini: End of Mission - NASA Solar System Exploration
After two decades in space, NASA’s Cassini spacecraft is nearing the end of its remarkable journey of exploration Having expended almost every bit of the rocket propellant it carried to Saturn, operators are deliberately plunging Cassini into the planet to ensure Saturn’s moons will remain pristine for future exploration
- Saturn Surprises As Cassini Continues its Grand Finale

Spacecraft Power for Cassini Cassini’s electrical power source — Radio-isotope Thermoelectric Generators (RTGs) — have provided electrical power for some of the U S space program’s greatest suc-cesses, including the Apollo lunar landings and the Viking landers that searched for life on Mars RTGs made possible NASA’s
- Cassini - Videos | Galleries – NASA Solar System Exploration
During NASA's Cassini mission's final distant encounter with Saturn's giant moon Titan, the spacecraft captured the enigmatic moon's north polar landscape of lakes and seas, which are filled with liquid methane and ethane
- Cassini - NASA Solar System Exploration
Cassini CDA Engineering Technical Write-up PI: Dr Ralf Srama CDA General Description: The Cosmic Dust Analyzer (CDA) is intended to provide direct observations of particulate matter in the Saturnian system, to investigate the physical, chemical, and dynamical properties of these particles, and to study their interactions with the rings, icy
- Cassini Shows Saturnian Roller Derby, Strange Weather
NASA’s Cassini spacecraft has been shadowing the gas giant long enough to see that the rings are a rough and tumble roller derby It has also revealed that the planet itself roils with strange weather and shifting patterns of charged particles
