Cassini Timeline: NASA Mission to Saturn Ahead of Grand Finale Death Dive

"To mark the end of the Cassini-Huygens mission, Newsweek looks at its landmark events over the last two decades—and what will happen in the final weeks of the spacecraft’s voyage. This is a beautiful short video with shots of the planet and animations of the final  moment when t he Cassini spacecraft will reach its grand finale. On September 15,  it will plunge into Saturn’s atmosphere, where the temperature and pressure will crush and vaporize the craft into oblivion. The death dive takes place almost 20 years after the spacecraft first launched and marks the end of one the longest missions undertaken by NASA, the European Space Agency (ESA) and the Italian Space Agency (ISA)."
