NASA's Cassini Spacecraft is doing some awesome stuff. Stay tuned to NASA?s twitter feed Space Cadets, today should be interesting. I?m Benjamin Higginbotham and this is your SpacePod for November 30th, 2010.Back on November 2nd, 2010 the Cassini spacecraft went into safe mode when the onboard computer had a messed up bit. As a result, the craft was unable to process an important instruction and that?s why it went into safe mode. This is the 6th time since its launch in 1997 that the craft has gone into safe mode.On November 24th, 2010 Cassini was brought back to full operations and just in time. At 11:54 UTC and during Spacecraft Event Time, Cassini will pass around 48 kilometers or 30 miles from the surface of Enceladus. During the closest part of the flyby, Cassini's will make gravity measurements to help understand the moon's interior structure better.
