These presentation viewgraphs shows the engineering operations that have contributed to the unprecedented scientific success of the Cassini and Huygens missions, and how engineering operations are planned and implemented in concert with the required sequence of science observations. Frequent Orbit Trim Maneuvers (OTM) keep Cassini on the correct trajectory to complete the planned Saturn Tour. Considerable effort has been invested in detailed planning of the complete set of science observations associated with this Tour, so a robust OTM strategy is necessary to protect this investment by ensuring the spacecraft keeps to the planned trajectory.
