Summary

Description
English: Orginal caption released with the picture:

Saturn Orbit Insertion This graphic shows the trajectory of the Cassini-Huygens spacecraft from the perspective of Earth as it enters orbit around Saturn. All times in listed are Pacific Daylight Time.

Highlights of orbit insertion:

  • 6:10 PM.: Spacecraft turns so its high-gain antenna can shield the craft from particles as it crosses Saturn's ring plane.
  • 7:36 PM: Engine begins burn, which will slow spacecraft down so it can be captured by Saturn's gravity. Burn lasts approximately 96 minutes.
  • 8:54 PM: Cassini captured in Saturn orbit.
  • 9:03 PM: Closest approach to Saturn of entire mission: 19,980 kilometers (12,400 miles) from Saturn's cloud tops.
  • 9:12 -9:22 PM: Engine burn ends.
  • 9:35 PM: Spacecraft begins to take pictures of Saturn's rings.
Deutsch: Blick von der Erde: Der Weg, den Cassini-Huygens zurücklegt, während des Einbremsens in die Saturnumlaufbahn.

Folgende Aktionen kurz vor, während und nach dem Bremsvorgang sind beschrieben (Alle Zeitangaben in Weltzeit)

  • 01:10: Cassini-Huygens dreht seine Parabolantenne in Flugrichtung, damit sie die Raumsonde vor Partikeln in der Ringebene schützt.
  • 14:36: Beginn der etwa 96 minütigen Triebwerkszündung, um Cassini abzubremsen, damit Saturns Schwerkraft sie einfängt.
  • 15:54: Cassini tritt in die Saturnumlaufbahn ein.
  • 16:03: Größte Annäherung an Saturn während der gesamten Mission: 19.980 Kilometer (12.400 Miles) über Saturn's Wolken.
  • 16:12 - 16:22: Triebwerkzündung beendet.
  • 16:35: Cassini-Huygens beginnt damit, Fotos von Saturn's Ringen zu machen.
