Cassini Ready to Roll
Creator:
NASA/JPL-Caltech
Description:
The newly assembled Cassini spacecraft, due for launch to Saturn in October 1997, is placed on a trailer at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, CA, for transport to vibration and thermal test facilities at the Pasadena facility. Cassini will be subjected to weeks of "shake and bake" tests that imitate the forces and extreme temperatures the spacecraft will experience during launch and spaceflight. The project is a joint endeavor of NASA, the European Space Agency and the Italian Space Agency. JPL manages the program for NASA's Office of Space Science, Washington, D.C.
