This paper provides an overview of the mission but focuses primarily on the activities over the past year in preparation for Saturn arrival and beginning the scientific observations to be made in orbit. Details are provided on the completion, validation, and uplink of new on-board flight software, development and testing of the sequences to be used for orbit insertion and relay of the data stream from the Huygens probe as it descends through the atmosphere of Titan, and design and preparation of the science sequences to be performed by the orbiter.
