The Cassini Spacecraft has just 6 days left of it’s mission around Saturn. Really 5 considering it will be early morning on the 15th when it begins its final dive into the planet.
This video highlights just a fraction of the amazing images Cassini has taken over the past 13 years around Saturn, as well as comments from people involved with the mission expressing just incredible the probe has been on everything it’s done.
Of course, a focus is that final minute of its flight, as it enters the atmosphere and as it is ripped apart it will do its best to sample everything it can in that upper atmosphere before end of signal and destruction of the machine itself.
A sad but at the same time fitting end to one of the most successful missions in the history of space exploration.
