Abstract:
The Cassini-Huygens spacecraft began its four-year Prime Mission to study Saturn’s
system in July 2004. Two tour extensions followed: a two-year Equinox Mission beginning in July 2008 and a seven-year Solstice Mission starting in September 2010. This paper highlights Cassini maneuver activities from June 2010 through June 2011, covering the transition from the Equinox to Solstice Mission. This interval included 38 scheduled maneuvers, nine targeted Titan flybys,three targeted Enceladus flybys, and one close Rhea flyby. In addition, beyond the
demanding nominal navigation schedule, numerous unforeseen challenges further
complicated maneuver operations. These challenges will be discussed in detail.
