00:00:04,070 --> 00:00:02,990
hello and welcome to NASA's Jet

2
00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:04,080
Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena

3
00:00:07,940 --> 00:00:06,810
California I'm on our lon one of

4
00:00:10,220 --> 00:00:07,950
the navigators helping to fly the

5
00:00:12,169 --> 00:00:10,230
Cassini spacecraft around Saturn for

6
00:00:14,120 --> 00:00:12,179
fans of the original Star Trek series my

7
00:00:16,490 --> 00:00:14,130
job would probably be most likely tenant

8
00:00:18,410 --> 00:00:16,500
sulo at the helm since our last update

9
00:00:20,269 --> 00:00:18,420
Cassini celebrated its 10th anniversary

10
00:00:22,849 --> 00:00:20,279
of launch and made the closest flyby

11
00:00:24,259 --> 00:00:22,859
ever of the Moon I APIs it gave us a

12
00:00:25,820 --> 00:00:24,269
window seat view over the rugged

13
00:00:28,700 --> 00:00:25,830
mountainous ridge along the moon's

14
00:00:30,529 --> 00:00:28,710
equator so on the heels of Iapetus the

15
00:00:32,749 --> 00:00:30,539
Cassini team had a tweet Cassini's path

16
00:00:35,180 --> 00:00:32,759
in preparation for a 37th encounter with

17
00:00:36,889 --> 00:00:35,190
titan on october second scientists say

18
00:00:38,510 --> 00:00:36,899
that if titan were a planet it would

19
00:00:40,160 --> 00:00:38,520
likely stand out as the most important

20
00:00:42,889 --> 00:00:40,170
planet in the Solar System for humans to

21
00:00:44,450 --> 00:00:42,899
explore on this flyby the navigators

22
00:00:46,010 --> 00:00:44,460
positioned the Cassini spacecraft over

23
00:00:48,410 --> 00:00:46,020
tightened southern hemisphere for the

24
00:00:50,150 --> 00:00:48,420
first time scientists were on the hunt

25
00:00:52,150 --> 00:00:50,160
for Lakes receives to see if they're as

26
00:00:54,650 --> 00:00:52,160
prevalent as they are at the North Pole

27
00:00:56,090 --> 00:00:54,660
this flyby provided us with our first

28
00:00:58,790 --> 00:00:56,100
confirmation of lakes in a southern

29
00:01:00,110 --> 00:00:58,800
hemisphere so Cassini's next close

30
00:01:02,180 --> 00:01:00,120
encounter with Titan is on november

31
00:01:04,700 --> 00:01:02,190
nineteenth Cassini will dip its toe once

32
00:01:06,469 --> 00:01:04,710
again into titan's atmosphere on our

33
00:01:07,910 --> 00:01:06,479
last fly by scientists were surprised

34
00:01:10,130 --> 00:01:07,920
because they were expecting a thicker

35
00:01:11,929 --> 00:01:10,140
atmosphere than they found this november

36
00:01:14,210 --> 00:01:11,939
nineteenth flyby also starts Cassini's

37
00:01:16,219 --> 00:01:14,220
last climb up Saturn's ladder increasing

38
00:01:18,320 --> 00:01:16,229
its inclination to about 75 degrees by

39
00:01:20,210 --> 00:01:18,330
next summer what this means is that the

40
00:01:22,850 --> 00:01:20,220
images will go for a perspective of this

41
00:01:25,190 --> 00:01:22,860
to even higher up than this as an avid

42
00:01:26,690 --> 00:01:25,200
photographer these images for me contain

43
00:01:27,830 --> 00:01:26,700
as much artistic value as they do

44
00:01:29,870 --> 00:01:27,840
scientific value

45
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:29,880
