Overview | The Grand Finale – NASA Solar System Exploration
Cassini’s final images were sent to Earth several hours before its final plunge, but even as the spacecraft made its fateful dive into the planet's atmosphere, it was sending home new data in real-time. Key measurements came from its mass spectrometer, which sampled Saturn's atmosphere, telling us about its composition until contact was lost.
NASA Releases Images of Earth by Distant Spacecraft
2013年7月22日 · NASA's Cassini spacecraft captured the color images of Earth and the moon from its perch in the Saturn system nearly 900 million miles (1.5 billion kilometers) away. MESSENGER, the first probe to orbit Mercury, took a black-and-white image from a distance of 61 million miles (98 million kilometers) as part of a campaign to search for natural ...
Cassini: About the Mission - Science@NASA
Cassini was one of the most ambitious efforts ever mounted in planetary exploration. A joint endeavor of NASA, ESA (the European Space Agency), and the Italian space agency (ASI), Cassini was a sophisticated robotic spacecraft sent to study Saturn and its complex system of rings and moons in unprecedented detail.
