End is nigh for Nasa's Cassini as it heads for crash landing on Saturn


Collaboration with European space agencies began in 1997 and has provided pictures of the moon, Titan, for scientists. Nasa’s Cassini mission to Saturn is entering its final week. Soon after arrival, the spacecraft jettisoned ESA’s Huygens lander, which touched down on Saturn’s moon Titan on 14 January 2005. At Enceladus, another moon, Cassini found a global ocean under the ice crust that may sustain life. Extended time and again from the original four-year mission, Cassini is entering the final stages.
