Dione floats past, with Saturn's rings beyond.
This view looks toward the anti-Saturn side of Dione (1,126 kilometers, or 700 miles
across). North is up. The darker terrain on the moon's trailing side is partly visible here,
along with one of the bright linea -- the bright fractures that crisscross Dione's trailing
side.
The view looks toward the sunlit side of the rings from less than a degree below the
ringplane.
The image was taken in visible green light with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle
camera on Oct. 26, 2007. The view was obtained at a distance of approximately 883,000
kilometers (549,000 miles) from Dione. Image scale is 5 kilometers (3 miles) per pixel.
The Cassini-Huygens mission is a cooperative project of NASA, the European Space
Agency and the Italian Space Agency. The Jet Propulsion Laboratory, a division of the
California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, manages the mission for NASA's
Science Mission Directorate, Washington, D.C. The Cassini orbiter and its two onboard
cameras were designed, developed and assembled at JPL. The imaging operations
center is based at the Space Science Institute in Boulder, Colo.

The CATT (Configurable All-Terrain Truck) is a modular space vehicle designed for easily changing attachments and features for different capabilities. This is a longer 4-seat variant of my original from last year:
A summer sunset...the sun was covered by clouds, but I saw the splash of colors in the sky and decided that the space above the sun could be the focal point instead.
For the first time, the Cassini spacecraft captures the shadow of Saturn's
tiny moon Pandora sneaking onto the planet's main rings.
Only a portion of the shadow of Pandora (81 kilometers, or 50 miles across)
has crept onto the A ring here, but the shadow is long enough to stretch
across the Keeler Gap. The moon is not shown. As Saturn approaches its
August 2009 equinox, the planet's moons cast shadows onto the rings. To
learn more about this special time and to see a movie of a moon's shadow
moving across the rings, see PIA11651.
This view looks toward the sunlit side of the rings from about 48 degrees
below the ringplane. The image was taken in visible light with the Cassini
spacecraft narrow-angle camera on May 9, 2009. The view was acquired at a
distance of approximately 912,000 kilometers (567,000 miles) from Saturn
and at a Sun-Saturn-spacecraft, or phase, angle of 75 degrees. Image scale
is 5 kilometers (3 miles) per pixel.

Lt. Col. Patrick Barrett, a weather officer for the launch, stopped by to talk to us about the various things that impact the launch weather decision.
