Journey to Saturn From Your Computer

Want a peek at Saturn as seen from space? A new interactive 3-D viewer that uses a
game engine and allows users to travel to Saturn and see it the way the Cassini spacecraft
sees it is now online at http://saturn.jpl.nasa.gov/multimedia/CASSIE and
http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/cassini/multimedia/cassie.html .

The Cassini at Saturn Interactive Explorer makes the real Cassini mission data fully
available in three colorful, easy-to-use expeditions.

The "Where is Cassini Now?" expedition shows exactly where the Cassini spacecraft is
and what it is doing each moment over the current 24-hour period. Viewers can see the
spacecraft move in its orbit and maneuver according to instructions from mission
scientists and navigators at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif.

With the "Mission Overview" expedition, look back in time as Cassini orbited the Saturn
system over the past 3.5 years, and fast-forward into the future to see where it is headed.
Users can control two virtual cameras to see Cassini fly by Saturn and its moons.

The "Saturn's Moons" expedition gives an in-depth peek at seven of Saturn's moons,
providing useful facts and interactive surface views of each one.

More information on the Cassini mission is available at http://www.nasa.gov/cassini and

http://saturn.jpl.nasa.gov .

The Cassini-Huygens mission is a cooperative project of NASA, the European Space
Agency and the Italian Space Agency. JPL, a division of the California Institute of
Technology in Pasadena, manages the Cassini-Huygens mission for NASA's Science
Mission Directorate, Washington. The Cassini orbiter was designed, developed and
assembled at JPL.
