This is the beginning of an end. Finally, NASA Cassini is set to commence on the ‘thrilling final chapter’ of its life.

After a long journey of 20 years, NASA Cassini is running out of fuel now. In 2004, following a 7 years journey to the solar system, Cassini arrived at the ring planet.

Cassini has shared wonders of Saturn and its family of icy moons. Now, Cassini has one last daring assignment. In April 26,2017 Cassini will officially make its final journey to the Saturn, reported by NASA.

This spacecraft will make 22 dives through a 1,200-mile gap between the Saturn and its innermost ring. After a plummet through the Saturn atmosphere, the Cassini will officially terminate on September 15, 2017.

As it repeatedly braves this unexplored region, Cassini seeks new insight about the origin of the rings and the nature of planet’s interior. Cassini project scientist Linda Spilker said that this planned conclusion for Cassini’s journey was far and away the preferred choice for the mission’s scientists.

Scientists hope to collect the first ever sample of Saturn’s atmosphere and particles coming from the main rings. Cassini will acquire the closest views of Saturn’s cloud and innermost rings.

Experts claimed that the Cassini has studied the dynamics of Saturn's rings extensively, revealing the intricate relationships among planet, rings, and moons. However, the researchers are making the final check on space probe’s command list, which will be uploaded on April 11.

On April 22, the Cassini will alteration into its grand finale orbits, taking one last close flyby of Saturn’s largest moon Titan. Based on the latest report by Space, On the final orbit, Cassini will plunge into Saturn and fighting to keep its antenna pointed towards the Earth

Scientist Spilker said Cassini’s grand finale is so much more than a final plunge. In the skies of Saturn, the journey will end as a part of the planet itself. Scientists still hope that it will send data from several instruments until its signal is lost. Experts claimed that it’s thrilling to see how to end the mission.
