Successful Huygens test: last before separation
ESA's Huygens probe, now orbiting Saturn on board the NASA/ESA/ASI Cassini spacecraft, is in good health and successfully passed its sixteenth 'In-Flight Checkout' on 23 November 2004. This in-flight checkout procedure was the last one planned before separation of the Huygens probe from Cassini in December this year. The preliminary analysis of the real-time data received showed all events in... View More (2004-11-23)
Cassini cameras spot powerful new lightning storm on Saturn
Following the recent detection of Saturnian radio bursts by NASA's Cassini spacecraft that indicated a rare and powerful atmospheric storm, Cassini imaging scientists have spotted the storm in an unlikely fashion: they looked for it in the dark. View More (2006-02-15)
'Over The Moon' At Saturn
UK scientists involved in the Cassini space mission were 'over the Moon' after the spacecraft's 100,000 km per hour white knuckle ride courtesy of Saturn's gravity which successfully completed the critical manoeuvre to place Cassini in orbit around the ringed planet. 'I've waited 15 years for this moment,' said Dr Andrew Coates of the UK's Mullard Space Science Laboratory and Co-Investigator on... View More (2004-07-01)
Huygens test successful
ESA's Huygens probe, now orbiting Saturn on board the NASA/ESA/ASI Cassini spacecraft, is in good health and successfully passed its fifteenth 'In-Flight Checkout' on 14 September 2004. This in-flight checkout procedure was the last but one planned before separation of the Huygens probe from Cassini in December this year, and it included some specific activities that were intended to prepare...

Huygens sets off with correct spin and speed
On Christmas Day 2004, the Cassini spacecraft flawlessly released ESA's Huygens probe, passing another challenging milestone for Cassini-Huygens mission. But, with no telemetry data from Huygens, how do we know the separation went well? View More (2005-01-11)
UK Cassini-Huygens Media briefing
UK Cassini-Huygens Media Briefing: Saturn's getting closer Thursday 3rd June 2003 New Connaught Rooms, 61 - 65 Great Queen Street, Covent Garden, London WC2B 5DA 10.30 - 12.00 You are invited to attend a background press briefing on the Cassini-Huygens mission which will focus on the science milestones that lie ahead and the UK science and industry involvement in the mission.

New Cassini images show Northern Lights of Saturn
New images of Saturn obtained by a University of Colorado at Boulder-led team on June 21 using an instrument on the Cassini spacecraft show auroral emissions at its poles similar to Earth's Northern Lights. View More (2005-08-08)
Spongy-looking hyperion tumbles into view
Two new Cassini views of Saturn's tumbling moon Hyperion offer the best looks yet at one of the icy, irregularly-shaped moons that orbit the giant, ringed planet. View More (2005-07-13)

Cassini flyby of Saturn moon offers insight into solar system history
NASA's Cassini spacecraft is scheduled to fly within 16 miles of Saturn's moon Enceladus on Oct. 9 and measure molecules in its space environment that could give insight into the history of the solar system. View More (2008-10-07)
Cassini flies by Saturn's tortured moon Mimas
On its recent close flyby of Mimas (MY-muss), the Cassini spacecraft found the Saturnian moon looking battered and bruised, with a surface that may be the most heavily cratered in the Saturn system. View More (2005-08-08)
Exploration of Saturn's rings aided by UK scientists
Scientists at the University of Sussex have produced synthetic 'cosmic dust' to help space researchers understand information gathered by a mission to Saturn. CASSINI, an unmanned probe launched by NASA in October 1997, is due to go into orbit around Saturn this summer. One of the aims of the CASSINI mission is to study the planet's famous rings. It is already recognised Saturn's rings are made... View More (2004-01-20)
Saturn's faint rings share some of their secrets
NASA Cassini spacecraft images of Saturn's diaphanous G and E rings are yielding new clues about their structure and formation. View More (2006-07-06)
Cassini shows Saturnian roller derby
The seemingly serene orb of Saturn is in fact a gas giant with extraordinary patterns of charged particles and rough and tumble roller derbies for rings. View More (2010-03-19)
NASA's Cassini images reveal spectacular evidence of an active moon
Jets of fine, icy particles streaming from Saturn's moon Enceladus were captured in recent images from NASA's Cassini spacecraft. The images provide unambiguous visual evidence the moon is geologically active. View More (2005-12-07)
Cassini finds Prometheus a sculptor of Saturn's rings
New findings from members of the Cassini imaging team show that certain prominent features in Saturn's narrow and contorted F ring can be understood in terms of a simple gravitational interaction with the small moon Prometheus. View More (2005-10-27)
Cassini sees new objects blazing trails in Saturn ring
Queen Mary scientists working with images from NASA's Cassini spacecraft have discovered strange half-mile-sized objects punching through parts of Saturn's F ring, leaving glittering trails behind them. View More (2012-04-25)
NASA's Cassini Reveals Lake-Like Feature on Titan
Scientists are fascinated by a dark, lake-like feature recently observed on Saturn's moon Titan. NASA's Cassini spacecraft captured a series of images showing a marking, darker than anything else around it. It is remarkably lake-like, with smooth, shore-like boundaries unlike any seen previously on Titan. View More (2005-06-29)
Cassini finds more rings highlighted by telltale small particles
Images taken by NASA's Cassini spacecraft, looking in the direction of the Sun, have provided scientists fresh insights into the dynamic nature of the rings and, in particular, the creation of new rings made from tiny particles released from larger bodies. View More (2006-10-12)
Cassini's doubleheader flybys score home run
Cassini performed back-to-back flybys of Saturn moons Tethys and Hyperion last weekend, coming closer than ever before to each of them. View More (2005-10-03)
