Abstract

The Cassini spacecraft will arrive at Saturn in 2004 carrying the Huygens probe which will descend into the atmosphere of Saturn's moon Titan. An extra 32-day orbit has been inserted at the beginning of the tour, and the orbiter altitude has been increased during the probe delivery flyby. This paper will detail the changes to the tour.
