NASA's $3.3 billion Cassini probe completed a seven-year, 2.2-billion mile
voyage Wednesday night, firing its main engine for a nerve-wracking 96
minutes to successfully brake into orbit around the ringed planet Saturn.

The first batch of photographs snapped by the Cassini Saturn orbiter
earlier today reached the Jet Propulsion Laboratory around 8:30 a.m. EDT,
zoomed-in shots of the planet's myriad rings showing a ghostly tapestry of
icy, back-lit particles arrayed in sharply defined bands.

As NASA's Cassini-Huygens spacecraft begins its four-year orbital tour of
the Saturn system, mission scientists will use an innovative imaging
device to deliver the most detailed look yet at the relationship between
the Sun, the giant ringed planet and the diverse collection of moons
looping around it.
---------------------------------------------------
A critical space station repair spacewalk that was aborted last week due
to a spacesuit problem was successfully carried out Wednesday as commander
Gennady Padalka and flight engineer Mike Fincke ventured outside to
replace a faulty circuit breaker in the outpost's orientation control
system.
New digital transfers offer the ultimate record
of the Apollo Moon landings.
