Titan 180 Transfer
July 22, 2006 through June 30, 2007
Orbit 26-47

Early in the Saturn tour, Cassini passes Titan on its way in to Saturn. This is what engineers call an "inbound" pass. By shifting the spacecraft's encounters with Titan to the outbound leg, the spacecraft's orientation with respect to the Sun is flipped 180 degrees. This process takes several orbits of Saturn allowing engineers to move Cassini's orbit with respect to capture different views of Saturn.
