The Planetary Society<\/a> opens a new contest to provide a cool name for the orbital gymnastics the Cassini spacecraft<\/a>\u00a0will do in the final phase of its mission at Saturn\u00a0: Help name the last phase of the Cassini mission! – The Planetary Society<\/a><\/p>\n

The name “proximal orbits” is a Vulcan-sounding phrase, all logic and science. But getting this science is going to take navigational bravery of which Captain Kirk would be proud. To help the public understand just how cool this part of the mission is going to be, the Cassini team is asking the public to\u00a0learn about Cassini’s final phase<\/a>\u00a0and then weigh in on a name for the final phase that has more punch to it.\u00a0You can either cast a vote for one of the team’s suggestions, or write in your own.<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n
