The Cassini mission was a highly successful 20-year mission to the planet Saturn that launched in 1997 and concluded its mission in September 2017. Over the course of its mission, Cassini executed hundreds of main engine and thruster-controlled ΔV maneuvers. This paper provides an overview of the Cassini maneuvers and provides data on the performance of the attitude controller and maneuver execution errors during these maneuvers. The paper concludes with an appendix documenting the vital statistics for all maneuvers that Cassini performed.
