Cassini's 'death dive'
2017-09-16
  • [Daily Mail, Where America Gets Its News] Cassini has finally completed its suicide mission, plunging into Saturn's atmosphere

  • The mission was completed at 07:56 EST (12:54 BST) today, when Cassini was travelling at 70,000mph

  • The radio signal could be seen to flatline, indicating that Cassini had been vapourised in the atmosphere

  • Animation released by Nasa ahead of the event revealed what the journey by Cassini would have looked like

  • Nasa destroyed the robot to avoid crashing into and contaminating nearby moons that may harbor alien life
