And another thing in Space News: BBC Horizon: Goodbye Cassini - Hello Saturn

[nanila]

BBC Horizon ran a one-hour "Goodbye Cassini - Hello Saturn" programme after the end of mission. My Big Boss takes up most of the second half of it, describing how the magnetometer discovered the plume activity at Enceladus.

If you're wondering who the woman in the purple shirt and glasses that she hugs at the end of mission event during the very last minute of the programme, can confirm that was me (see screencap above). That was shot about a minute after the loss of signal. :/

You can catch the Horizon programme on iPlayer if you missed it here.

No, the Cassini Project only continues until end September 2018. Then it shuts down. I will work on it until then.

In the meantime, most of my days are filled with the Build phase of the JUICE mission, for which our lab is providing the magnetometer instrument. This time I actually get to help with the hardware, which is very satisfying!

First I've heard of this new mission; it sounds tremendously exciting. But seeing the dates on it reminds me of just how long you guys need to wait to see the results of your labours ...
