> Want a peek at Saturn as seen from space? A new interactive 3-D
> viewer that uses a game engine and allows users to travel to Saturn
> and see it as it is seen by the Cassini spacecraft is now online at
> http://saturn.jpl.nasa.gov/multimedia/CASSIE and

>
> The Cassini at Saturn Interactive Explorer makes the real Cassini
> mission data fully available in three colorful, easy-to-use
> expeditions.
>
> The “Where is Cassini Now?” expedition shows exactly where the
> Cassini spacecraft is and what it is doing each moment over the
> current 24-hour period. Viewers can see the spacecraft move in its
> orbit and maneuver according to instructions from mission
> scientists and navigators at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory,
> Pasadena, Calif.
>
> With the “Mission Overview” expedition, look back in time as
> Cassini orbited the Saturn system over the past 3.5 years, and
> fast- forward into the future to see where it is headed. Users can
> control two virtual cameras to see Cassini fly by Saturn and its
> moons.
>
> The “Saturn’s Moons” expedition gives an in-depth peek at seven of
> Saturn’s moons, providing useful facts and interactive surface
> views of each one.

> More information on the Cassini mission is available at http://

> The Cassini-Huygens mission is a cooperative project of NASA, the
