Amassing valuable scientific information about the Saturnian system for 13 years, the Cassini spacecraft is now in the last phase of its mission. The Grand Finale, a series of 22 orbits with Cassini passing through a gap between Saturn’s innermost ring and its upper atmosphere, began after the last targeted Titan flyby on April 22, 2017 and ends with the spacecraft plunging into Saturn on September 15, 2017. This paper reports on the maneuvers performed to achieve the final targeted Titan encounter and the maneuvers used to maintain the Grand Finale orbits.
