Cassini Post End of Mission News Conference @AboutNASAdotCom

The Cassini Post End of Mission is the ongoing phase of scientific analysis and discovery that follows the end of the Cassini spacecraft's active mission at Saturn. The Cassini spacecraft, which orbited Saturn and its moons for 13 years, collected a vast amount of data and images that will continue to be studied and interpreted for years to come. The Cassini Post End of Mission aims to maximize the scientific return and legacy of the mission, as well as to share the knowledge and inspiration with the public and future generations of explorers.Show more

Some of the objectives and activities of the Cassini Post End of Mission are:

- To archive and distribute the Cassini data to the scientific community and the public through the Planetary Data System and other platforms.
- To support the analysis and publication of the Cassini data by the mission team and other researchers, as well as to foster collaborations and synergies with other missions and disciplines.
- To enhance the education and outreach programs that showcase the achievements and discoveries of the Cassini mission, as well as to inspire and engage students and educators in STEM fields.
- To preserve and celebrate the history and heritage of the Cassini mission, as well as to honor the people and partners who made it possible.

The Cassini Post End of Mission is expected to last until at least 2023, and will be funded by NASA and its international partners, such as the European Space Agency and the Italian Space Agency. The Cassini Post End of Mission is led by the Cassini Project Office at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, in collaboration with the Cassini Science Team and other institutions.
