Enceledus 50 km Flyby on August 11th
      08/08/08 09:01 PM

Yes, Cassini's latest flyby will be flying only 50 km from the surface of Enceledus. Image resolution will be 7 meters/pixel. Also, a high resolution thermal scan across the "tiger stripes" will be done.

For images, videos and a mission blog on the flyby, visit: http://www.nasa.gov/cassini
