Current and Future Events

Cassini is currently in orbit around Saturn in the mission's two-year Extended phase.  It has already spent four years performing investigations into many of Saturn's moons as well and the planet itself.  Cassini's many orbits around Saturn included fly-bys of the planet's moons, particularly Titan and Enceladus.  The Extended Mission, or XM, is a chance for Cassini to explore the exciting phenomena discovered during the Tour Mission, such as the "tiger stripes" of Enceladus.

A schedule of planned fly-bys of Saturn's moons, as relevant to the MAG experiment, can be found at the Cassini Schedule page.
