Cassini
Titan Flyby (T-64) - Dec. 27, 2009

T-64: Return to the North

The Cassini spacecraft heads north for a close flyby of Titan on Dec.
27, 2009 (Dec. 28 Spacecraft Event Time). During this pass, RADAR gets
another view of the north polar lakes, providing an opportunity to
measure changes in lake size and other lake characteristics. Other
instruments utilize this opportunity to sample the high northern
atmosphere as well as to look for possible seasonal changes.
