hello and welcome to NASA's Jet

Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena

3
00:00:10,990 --> 00:00:09,320
California my name is James Gerhard and

4
00:00:13,150 --> 00:00:11,000
I'm one of the operations engineers on

5
00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:13,160
the Cassini program here to share the

6
00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:15,650
latest news from saturn my job is to

7
00:00:19,810 --> 00:00:17,210
write the commands that tell the two

8
00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:19,820
imaging cameras what to do since our

9
00:00:24,580 --> 00:00:21,770
last report Cassini has returned some

10
00:00:26,470 --> 00:00:24,590
stunning views of Saturn and this image

11
00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:26,480
Cassini takes a sweeping view of

12
00:00:31,179 --> 00:00:29,090
Saturn's South Pole region as the planet

13
00:00:34,870 --> 00:00:31,189
shadow masks the Rings and the bright

14
00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:34,880
icy moon minus another image shows the

15
00:00:40,630 --> 00:00:38,050
icy moon Raya set against giant Saturn

16
00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:40,640
Cassini completed another successful

17
00:00:47,319 --> 00:00:45,050
flyby of titan on april 10th 2007 among

18
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:47,329
the new parts of familiar terrain imaged

19
00:00:51,550 --> 00:00:49,010
with the radar instrument was the other

20
00:00:53,319 --> 00:00:51,560
side boundary of the Black Sea which

21
00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:53,329
could tell scientists more about its

22
00:00:58,270 --> 00:00:56,090
size the radar team also aligned this

23
00:01:00,580 --> 00:00:58,280
past slightly southward so that will

24
00:01:04,689 --> 00:01:00,590
line up with the future altimeter flyby

25
00:01:06,790 --> 00:01:04,699
planned for May 12 2007 on Cassini's

26
00:01:09,610 --> 00:01:06,800
next two passes of Titan starting with

27
00:01:12,340 --> 00:01:09,620
April 26th fly by the radar instrument

28
00:01:13,930 --> 00:01:12,350
will be on the hunt for sees this time

29
00:01:16,390 --> 00:01:13,940
the instrument will image the area

30
00:01:18,610 --> 00:01:16,400
slightly north of the Black Sea the

31
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:18,620
radar coverage will cross over for radar

32
00:01:22,570 --> 00:01:20,810
swathes and begin to fill in more of the

33
00:01:25,930 --> 00:01:22,580
gaps in the coverage of titans North

34
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:25,940
Pole on the following flyby Cassini's

35
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:27,650
infrared spectrometer will see the lid

36
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:29,930
and dark sides of Titan looking for hot

37
00:01:34,690 --> 00:01:32,450
spots and lightning the two imaging

38
00:01:37,289 --> 00:01:34,700
cameras that I work on will do global

39
00:01:39,609 --> 00:01:37,299
mapping and full disk mosaics from

40
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:39,619
