High Inclination Sequence
August 31, 2007 through July 1, 2008
Orbit 49-End of mission (74)

Studying Saturn at steep angles (called high inclinations) is of extreme interest to scientists. Viewing Saturn's polar regions provide opportunities for studying Saturn's rings and magnetosphere. The high inclination sequence also allows for radio (from Earth), solar, and stellar occultations of Saturn, Titan, and the ring system. Such studies allow scientists to understand the nature of the material in Saturn, Titan, and the rings.
