The spacecraft is still trucking along in the planetary system, observing Saturn and its 62 known moons. Cassini should continue on in its mission until about 2017, when the craft is expected to run out of fuel, making a planned death-dive into Saturn’s atmosphere.
Before that, however, Cassini will dive between Saturn’s body and its ring plane, getting some incredible close-up observation as part of its grand finale in orbit.
