The Cassini-Huygens deep-space probe has successfully completed a four-year prime tour and a two-year extended tour of the Saturnian system. Now in a second extended phase called the Solstice Mission, the Cassini spacecraft will continue to gather data as directed by the reference trajectory until 2017. This paper will describe the process of how a reference trajectory update is prepared and delivered to the project by the navigation team during Solstice Mission flight operations. This paper will also document the timeline of products released and utilized, as well as the study to include an Enceladus occultation observation that occurs in 2016.
