Cassini mission fanfiction

Cassini was doomed. NASA had made a hard decission, but it was more important to save Saturn's moons than continuing the mission for some little months. The mission had had great results, especially the discovery of Encedalus as a potencially habitable moon. An icy satellite with an unexpected underground. An ocean with the elements that form life. Twenty years ago Cassini left the Earth to study Saturn and its moons propulsed by nuclear energy. After all this time, it was running out of fuel and, whenever this would happen, nobody knew where it might head to. To prevent it from crashing against one of the moons,  NASA thought of using Titan's gravity to redirect it without consuming any fuel and send it to its last adventure. A group of orbits around the planet that would end with the spacecraft burning in its atmosphere. The remaining fuel was going to be used to point Cassini's communications array to the Earth so it could send the maximum information available until th...
