NASA announced about the 20th mission of Saturn's exploration. Cassini probe (names in honor of the Italian astronomer Giovanno Cassini ed.) having descended into the atmosphere of the planet and burned. The remaining signal to the device is 83 hvilin and reaching the Earth at 14:55 Moscow time.

The Cassini-Huygens mission was founded in 1982 by a joint working group of the US National Academy of Sciences and the European Science Foundation. At the same time in 1997, the device was launched from the Canaveral Mississippi. On the orbit of Saturn, the device passed through 13 years, transferring 635 gigabytes of data and 453 thousand znimkiv to the earth in an hour.

Orbіti planetary ship reaching less than 2004 roci, zrobivshi to tsoy maneuver around Venus, Earth and Jupiter. Earlier it was planned that the mission would be completed in 2008, but they decided to continue until 2010. The rest of the decision about the completion of the mission was praised in 2017 through the paliva marriage.

One of the most important achievements of the mission is the landing of the Huygens probe, which is descending, on Titan (the largest satellite of Saturn is ed.) September 14, 2005. The apparatus is vivacious in the atmosphere of the satellite.

The probe took photographs of the body of Saturn, as if it were made up of particles of ice and saw. Dosi nevidomo, if the stench has disappeared that why. The signs of Kassina helped us discover the new ring of Saturn - the ring of Janus-Epimetheus. The apparatus is nimble before the unknown satellites of the planet - Polidek, Pallena, Methon, Anfa, Egeon and Daphnis.

Behind the signs of Cassina, it was clear that there were 250-kilometer water trails on the satellite, which were coming out of the cracks on the surface of the satellite. Vcheni z'yasuvali, that under the ice there is an ocean of 45 kilometers. Comrade's ice can hit from two to twenty kilometers.

2015 the fate of Cassina made the most safe maneuver - flying through the plume of Enceladus. Zavdyaks to whom the vcheni z'yasuvali, that the wikis of the satellite have chemical elements, yakі can testify about the adoption of the surface of organic speeches.

The rest of the probe's mission was called the Grand Finale; “Kassinі” for the whole hour 22 times flying between the surface of Saturn and yogo kіltsami (it's about 2 thousand kilometers).

“The final division of the marvelous mission, but also the cob. The discovery of "Kassin" oceanic lights on Titan and Encelady changed everything, turning our statement about a wondrous space for the search for a potential life beyond the boundaries of the Earth," said Thomas Zurbuchen, the intercessor of the Administrator of the Science Representative Office of NASA.

In its hour, the NASA Cassini spacecraft needed 7 years to reach the orbit of Saturn after reaching 3.5 billion km. For 13 years of unbelievable robots, Cassini has transferred to Earth thousands of unique features of the planet itself, її famous heels and companions.

I Axis Today, at Friday 15th September, the probe will shoot its remaining deadly "string" into the atmosphere of Saturn, de ignite without a trace. Before the speech, the zavdyaks of whom should be able to avoid the possible hit on the surface of the planet of terrestrial microbes, as if they could be saved like a diva on a space vehicle. To solve the riddle about the new fahivtsi, NASA worked out a collection of the best signs that Cassini destroyed in an hour on the 13th cosmic watch.

As of 12 September 2009, the fate of Saturn is equal to the hour of the day. Truly original “mosaic canvas” from a number of signs, crushed with a stretch of 8 years

A giant hurricane near the Pivnichny pole of Saturn with a diameter of over 2000 km in diameter, which wraps around 330 km / year. The sign was crushed by a vug-shaped camera on the 27th leaf fall of 2012

Composition with a few signs: gloomy at the pivnіchnіy pivkulі of Saturn. Signs shot by a wide-view camera on April 20, 2016

Saturn's moon is Enceladus. In order to take this picture, Cassini needs to take 21 characters on March 9 and March 14, 2005. Zavdyaki tsim unique signs were installed that under the surface of Enceladus there is an ocean, possibly with primitive forms of life

Less than 20 minutes after Cassini's approach to Titan, on March 31, 2005, the cameras showed the same view of Saturn through the upper atmosphere to Titan. Pivnіchnu part of the disk of Saturn can be shaken at the upper left kutku; Dark horizontal lines are shadows in the view of the kіlets of Saturn. The sign was broken on a distance of 7980 kilometers from Titan. (NASA/JPL/Space Science Institute)

The glare of the effects of the infrared spectrometer, placed on the spacecraft Kassini, June 8, 2009. This confirmed the presence of the native land near the pivnіchnіy pivkulі of the companion, de lakes are richer, lower near the pivnіchnіy pivkulі. Vecheni allow that the lakes are filled with rare ethane and methane. (NASA / JPL / University of Arizona / DLR)

The spacecraft Cassini, having successfully completed its mission on August 1, 2011, flew around Saturn's moon Enceladus and lifted the streams of water vapor and ice. At the hour of its closest approach, the spacecraft flew over 100 kilometers from the surface of the satellite. Such a closeness was necessary in order for the spacecraft to start acquiring gas, which would turn out to be a companion for a distant wedding. (NASA/JPL/Space Science Institute)

May all the miraculous images of Saturn and those marvelous months - Enceladus, Titan, and similar to the "Star of Death" Mimas - were taken away by the stars of the ancient space apparatus Cassini, which has been plowing the expanses of the Sonyach system for 20 years. Vіn leaving the Earth in 1997 roci and viishov to the orbit of Saturn 13 years ago, 1 linden 2004 year.

Now more expensive is coming to completion. On the 15th of spring 2017, the fate of Cassini will fly into the atmosphere of the planet and burn, so as not to confuse the orbit with the traces of human activity. Today we ask you to marvel at the most beautiful and famous photographs, like a cosmic successor for all the rocks:











7. In this warehouse photograph, the most important satellite of Saturn is Titan. Cassini took pictures of the hour of the mission "T-114" on 13th leaf fall 2015



9. The month of the end of Saturn is bright, which Cassini takes with an ultra-short exposure - close to 10 milliseconds. Sign of 2016 rock

12. Pivnіchny pole of Saturn. There is no deer here - a less majestic hexagonal storm

On the 15th of spring 2017 Cassini's mission will come to an end. Until tsgogo vіn is guilty of death 22 passing between the planet and її kіltsami. So looking first:

From i all. About 11 years 55 hvilin 46 seconds behind the universal hour NASA's distant space communication complex in Canberra received the remaining signal from Cassina. Now we have lost more than one apparatus from the giant planet. Go, obviously, about the Yunona station. Before the speech, Cassini transmitted information from the atmosphere of Saturn approximately 30 seconds longer, lowered. Navit here vіn zumіv vіdznachitsa that perevikonati plan. In a few hours, I think, a report will be published about the rest of the life of Cassini, its behavior during the entry into the atmosphere and the data collected. I'm sure you can't do without surprises.

In the meantime, let's love the deeds of the remaining signs of Cassina. The stench was transferred by the apparatus to Earth in the night of 14 to 15 September. The axis of the rest of the image of Titan is a friend for an important meta, as well as a cost-free "refueling". Zavdyaki vykoristannyu gravitatsii satellite, "Kassin" zooms zdіysnit impersonal maneuverіvі, on yakі yoma simply would not stick the fire. The sign was broken from a distance of 774 thousand kilometers.
Zahid Enceladus for the limb of the gas giant. Better for everything, the companion itself will become a metoy of the offensive misfortune, like destroying up to Saturn. Feeding is less for that, if you yourself become. At the time of the pickup, "Kassina" was at a distance of 1.3 million km from Enceladus.

Daphnis. The rest of the image of the critical month, the gravity of which created in the city A 42-kilometer gap, like the Keeler valley. Zyomka was conducted from a distance of 782 thousand kilometers. Daphnis can be seen as a crying point in the center of the opening.

Colour-coded version of the remaining sign of Kassina.


And this sign was planted on Earth, in the control center in Pasadena. The mission team carefully took the remaining signal from the Kassina. I think more comments are here.


P.S. It is my duty to say that this soundtrack conveys my thoughts better than today's farewell to Cassina. Ale, even if you don’t turn around, you can’t forget that the people can always wake up new. Golovne, schobi bulo bazhannya.
