Cassini Extended Tour Plan Selected

Cassini’s Extended Mission Tour, Planetary Society

“We have a Cassini extended mission tour! A metaphorical puff of white smoke emerged from Building 167 at JPL on Thursday afternoon as the Cassini science team leaders met in executive session and made their final decision. Tour PF6h9 it is. I wasn’t there for the final decision (I’m not that high in the Cassini hierarchy), but I participated in a lot of the deliberations that led up to that moment and found the whole process fascinating.”
