The Cassini spacecraft is in an excellent state of health and is operating normally. Uplink and Checkout.
Data indicate no interference was detected beyond the instrument's own internal interference.
This is a very positive outcome for this test. In light of Cassini's fast approaching encounter with Jupiter and its joint observations with Galileo, two presentations on Galilean satellites were made at the Cassini Design Team Meeting. Thus, Cassini data from the flyby of Jupiter will enable a further refinement of the identification of the observed absorption bands. Io is the most volcanically active place known. About the same size and density as the Moon, Io exceeds the Moon by about four orders of magnitude in heat production.
