In occasione di "S T A R T Quando le Stelle incontrano le Arti"

FROM VOYAGER TO CASSINI AND BEYOND

manifestazione speciale in inglese (consigliato per un pubblico giovane e adulto)
a cura di Carolyn Porco - California Academy of Sciences

Thirty-six years ago, the United States and Europe joined together to undertake a mission to the outer solar system. It was named Cassini and called for a 7-year trek across the solar system, entry into orbit around the planet Saturn in the summer of 2004, and a 13-year long, deep, comprehensive look thereafter at everything in the Saturn system. By its end, Cassini had become the largest, most scientifically productive interplanetary mission that had ever flown.

In this public lecture, Porco, an award-winning planetary scientist, leader of Cassini’s imaging team, and veteran imaging team member on the 1980s Voyager mission to the outer solar system will review the milestones in interplanetary travel that led to Cassini, guide us through the mission’s most momentous scientific discoveries, visit the legacy that seven decades of planetary exploration have left behind, evaluate present-day developments that are significantly altering the conduct of space travel, and present her hopes for the future.
