This in not one of my missions, but the NASA Program Executive that is in charge of Cassini-Huygens sits right next to my office. Mark is over in Europe right now, with the ESA folks pouring over the images as they come in. We have been watching this closely all day, ever since my division director came in my office first thing this morning and said we had carrier signal from the spacecraft all the way down to the surface. Some of the
latest photos can be seen here and on the
Cassini web site. Fresh pictures from one of the moons of Saturn, showing apparent erosion channels, shorelines, ice blocks, and potential flooded plains. How cool is that?!!
Jeez, I love my job!
