hello and welcome to NASA's Jet

Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena

00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:08,930
California I'm Todd barber lead

00:00:12,280 --> 00:00:10,370
propulsion engineer on the Cassini

5
00:00:16,330 --> 00:00:12,290
mission to Saturn with your latest news

6
00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:16,340
from the range planet on jun 27 2007 the

7
00:00:20,769 --> 00:00:18,170
Cassini spacecraft made its second of

8
00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:20,779
two close flybys of Saturn's icy moon t

9
00:00:24,939 --> 00:00:23,210
'this p 'this is coated with particles

10
00:00:28,179 --> 00:00:24,949
from Saturn's earring that may

11
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:28,189
contribute to its brightness this flyby

12
00:00:32,710 --> 00:00:30,650
focused on Ithaca Chasma a system of

13
00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:32,720
canyons that is four times as long as

14
00:00:37,270 --> 00:00:35,090
Earth's Grand Canyon scientists want to

15
00:00:39,970 --> 00:00:37,280
know how these canyons formed was teeth

16
00:00:42,190 --> 00:00:39,980
us active in the past or did the canyons

17
00:00:43,630 --> 00:00:42,200
formed due to large impact events like

18
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:43,640
the one that produced the large crater

19
00:00:49,300 --> 00:00:46,250
Odysseus

20
00:00:51,460 --> 00:00:49,310
Cassini flew by titan on jun 29 2007 and

21
00:00:54,070 --> 00:00:51,470
completed a portion of the tour we call

22
00:00:56,740 --> 00:00:54,080
the pi transfer we used low altitude

23
00:00:58,570 --> 00:00:56,750
flybys of Titan and Titans gravity to

24
00:01:01,180 --> 00:00:58,580
slingshot the spacecraft into higher

25
00:01:02,290 --> 00:01:01,190
inclination orbits around Saturn this

26
00:01:04,270 --> 00:01:02,300
enabled us to get these

27
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:04,280
never-before-seen views of the Rings

28
00:01:08,260 --> 00:01:06,410
including this breathtaking image from

29
00:01:12,340 --> 00:01:08,270
high above the ranked planets cloud tops

30
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:12,350
our next Titan encounter will take place

31
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:15,410
on July 19th 2007 this flyby will

32
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:16,850
feature by static scattering

33
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:18,770
observations just to the west of the

34
00:01:23,050 --> 00:01:21,410
Huygens landing site by static

35
00:01:25,210 --> 00:01:23,060
scattering is a type of radio science

36
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:25,220
observation used to determine the nature

37
00:01:29,350 --> 00:01:27,770
and composition of the surface and it

38
00:01:31,180 --> 00:01:29,360
will provide important context

39
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:31,190
information for the successful Huygens

40
00:01:36,100 --> 00:01:34,130
mission that's the latest news from the

41
00:01:37,779 --> 00:01:36,110
range planet this is Todd Barbara at
