Abstract

The Cassini spacecraft mission to Saturn will be launched in October 1997, on a Titan IV/Centaur launch vehicle. Cassini is the largest interplanetary spacecraft ever developed. Before launch approval can be obtained, a test verified finite element model of the Cassini spacecraft must be completed and approved by NASA. The correctness of this model is critical to the final verification coupled loads analysis and margin of safety assessments.
