Cassini to make semi-dangerous dive into Enceladus Geyser March 12.... | |

"With all of these pebbles flying around everywhere, it's a wonder Cassini had not been hit ALREADY..." That may be the rationale to accept the outage. |
| NEVERODDOREVEN (OP) User ID: 350269 United States03/06/2008 08:47 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | March 25th is Cassini's next chance to get a major trajectory change from Titan's gravity. Mar-25-2008 62 Close Flyby (altitude = 1,000 km; 621 mi) of moon Titan. April Unusual Event for Cassini? Thread: Feb. Unusual Event Prediction was correct, NEXT unusual event should be MID TO LATE APRIL (15 -20), see why.... A semi-disabled Cassini could then make a dive in April into Saturn. If not then, then likely before and up to June/July, 2008. All major speculation. [link to members.cox.net] |
| NEVERODDOREVEN (OP) User ID: 350269 United States03/06/2008 10:24 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Looking at the "Cassie" program, if Cassini is "semi-disabled" from the Enceladus venture but they can still control its trajectory then they simply modify the Titan approach on March 25th to make it get a bit closer and send Cassini into a longer loop that takes it above Saturn and headed directly into the north pole using thrusters for fine tune adjustement. They will have no choice but to do a polar plunge at this point, with Cassini in polar incline sequence. The time it would normally take Cassini to make 3 rounds is reduced to one large loop into Saturn mid to late April. Seems plausible. Ok, enough speculation....for what it's worth. |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 203360 United States03/07/2008 12:42 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The video actually says 50 km at the closest and 200 km at the geyser, so that only 124 miles up. How can they guarantee that NO large ice particles are there. They can't! In fact they say the material makes its way to the rings of Saturn, so this doesn't make sense to take a risk like that, but it does make sense if they want to contrive a problem and seem innocent about it. |

Quoting: Exalted CrowNot sure, I don't think they have even said what they think is causing it. It's supposedly a mystery, but the higher ups may know and not tell. One proposal by someone was regarding the natural alignment of Hydrogen, but it seems like a bad WAG since we don't see it anywhere else. |

It's all just bullshit for the masses; and some of us don't have an appetite for bullshit. We can read between the lines and we can spot more BS a mile away; but when a real piece of news -- like this one -- gets here, we can see the intentions of leadership to deceive us all and we jump on it like stink on shit. Good reporting. |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 194596 United States03/07/2008 01:28 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Um, the L-Project is about Cassini's fuel pellets surviving Saturn entry and making a possible future plunge INTO the depths of Saturn, creating the possible conditions for fission to occur due to natural implosion (massive squeeze from the pressures of Saturn's atmosphere). The evidence for this is the recent proof of the Pu-238/239 mix being fissile and the circumstantial evidence of a similar plunge into Jupiter by Galileo creating an earth-sized black mark from the outward thrust of such an explosion inside Jupiter. In addition, we have been reassured by NASA that the pellets can indeed withstand tremendous heat and pressure to survive just about any atmospheric entry. |
