NASA Cassini Significant Events for 05/27/04 - 06/02/04
Status Report From: Jet Propulsion Laboratory
Posted: Friday, June 4, 2004
The most recent spacecraft telemetry was acquired from the Canberra tracking station on Wednesday, June 2. The Cassini spacecraft is in an excellent state of health and is operating normally. Information on the present position and speed of the Cassini spacecraft may be found on the 'Present Position' web page located at http://saturn.jpl.nasa.gov/operations/present-position.cfm .
Feb 16, 2010 there used to be a Mac version, but they killed it. Since you're willing to purchase new software, there's a recipe/cookbook management program for Mac called Yum that will also allow you to import your old MasterCook recipes. I've never used it myself, it was just one of the possibilities i discovered when i started researching Mac-compatible recipe software for myself.

This week's key activity was the successful execution of Trajectory Correction Maneuver #20 (TCM). This maneuver was particularly significant in that it used the propulsion system in exactly the same mode that it will be used for SOI. A 'quick look' immediately after the maneuver showed the burn duration was 362 seconds, giving a delta-V of 34.7 meters per second. This was well within expected tolerances. The low gain antenna 2 (LGA-2) was used while the spacecraft was off Earth-point to provide a signal to the radio science receiver to track the spacecraft during the burn. This was a mini-dress rehearsal for Saturn Orbit Insertion (SOI) where the same technique will be used. The observed Doppler shift due to the burn was almost identical to the pre-burn predict. This was the first use of LGA-2 since prior to Earth flyby. An excellent article appeared on CBS News 'SPACE PLACE' on May 27 detailing this maneuver and its significance to the Cassini Program.

After execution of TCM-20 and a rest over the Memorial Day holiday, the Spacecraft Operations Office oversaw the uplink of the SOI Critical Sequence Load to the SSR. This load will control on board activities during the SOI period. The upload went nominally.
On-board instrument activities this week included calibration of the Radio and Plasma Wave Subsystem antenna in preparation for the Phoebe encounter on June 11. The Imaging Science Subsystem (ISS) observed a full rotation of Saturn in three methane and nearby continuum filters for cloud and haze sounding and visible polarizers for cloud and haze properties.
As part of sequence development for S02, Uplink Operations released the Final Sequence Integration and Validation SEG products for review and comment.
The kickoff meeting for the S04 Science Operations Plan Update process was held this week. A Science Adaptation Panel meeting was canceled since there were no significant changes to the DSN station requests.
A Tour Process meeting was held Wednesday to discuss a candidate trajectory that the Navigation Team developed last Friday. This trajectory solves many of the timing problems that exist in the science plan when using the reference trajectory that was released in May. An initial plan has been developed on how the science planning effort should proceed over the next couple of months.
In the last week, 1240 ISS images were obtained and were distributed along with 838 Visual and Infrared Mapping Spectrometer (VIMS) cubes. The total number of ISS images acquired since the start of Approach Science is now 8818, and the number of VIMS cubes is 2050.

Mission Planning released the Cassini Saturn arrival mission description document. This provides a high-level profile of arrival activities including Phoebe and SOI. The document is available on the Cassini internal web site.
Mission Sequence Subsystem delivered the Mac OS/ X and Linux client-server versions of the Pointing Design tool (PDT). These versions of PDT are functionally identical to the D10.3.1 version delivered for Solaris 9 in mid May.
During spring 2004, Saturn Observation Campaign members - 200 in the United States and 100 in other countries - conducted nearly 200 observing events featuring Saturn and Cassini.
JPL /Cassini Outreach has released a Cassini-Huygens Mission Status Report - May 28, 2004. The report covers TCM-20, the upcoming Phoebe fly by, Saturn Orbit Insertion in late June, and the release of the Huygens Probe. For more information please link to: http://www.jpl.nasa.gov
Cassini appeared in an article in Scientific American this month. For more information see their web site at: http://www.sciam.com/issue.cfm
Cassini is a cooperative project of NASA, the European Space Agency and the Italian Space Agency. The Jet Propulsion Laboratory, a division of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, Calif., manages the Cassini mission for NASA's Office of Space Science, Washington, D.C.

Sega - Saturn Emulators
Name | Description |
A-SATURN | This Saturn emulator emulates 99% of the main CPUs and various percents of the other chips. It doesn't run any games however. |
Cassini | Cassini is a new Saturn emulator for Windows that now has a slew of controversy around it. There are claims from many sides about the legality of it and many sides concerning simply the morality and ethics involved. It is a hacked version of GiriGiri. Until this emulator has been deemed illegal, we'll provide a download. Not sure how long that might be, so you may want to get it now. As with all Saturn emulators, a Saturn BIOS is needed. |
GiriGiri | GiriGiri is a Sega Saturn emulator for Windows, developed by Japanese programmer Shinya 'MegaDeath' Miyamoto. Initially a freeware program that worked only with the Japanese version of Windows 98, the developer released 'debugger' beta versions up until 0.6a in early 2001. Debugger version 0.9 and the full GiriGiri Saturn emulator were announced, but never released. Instead, Sega hired the developer behind the project and bought the software to run downloadable Sega Saturn titles on the online Cyber Disc/B-Club service. The service was short-lived, closing in March 2004. The emulator was later hacked by Gavionne to improve compatibility, and released as GiriGiri Gav. Another version (0.7.7 beta) was released by MiC with a new loader program. |
Hyperion | Hyperion is a discontinued emulator that can only display the Saturn menus and the Saturn CD Player. |
PC-Saturn | PC-Saturn is another Saturn emulator that was discontinued before doing much. |
Project Titan | This emulator is quite primitive and really isn't useful for much. It's open source though, so you can look at that if you wish. |
Sat'On'Em | This was a close competitor with A-Saturn, but has been discontinued. Sat'On'Em emulates 89% of both the CPUs, and it fully emulates the memory. |
Satan | Althogh Satan is nothing more than a Saturn CD header reader, this was the first legitimate Saturn emulator ever to come into existence. Coded by Nakasaki, this emulator has its own install program. It doesn't emulate anything, but can read CD info such as the Virtual Fighter Remix CD. |
Satourne | This emulator has come a long way, and plays a few games. Definitely give it a try! |
Saturnin | Saturnin is developed by Runik and is one of the major Saturn emulators out there. It can play some commercial Saturn Roms. |
SSE | SSE is a Sega Saturn and ST-V emulator that appeared out of nowhere after a year of development and can play several games. Give it a try and visit its official page for more in depth info. |
SSEmu | This was the first Sega Saturn emulator to actually emulate something. It emulates the Saturn Control Unit (SCU), all three Hitachi processors (partially), and music is emulated (CD-Audio). It has been discontinued, however. |
SSF | SSF is a Windows-based emulator of the Sega Saturn and Sega Titan Video (ST-V, an arcade board very similar to the Saturn). Despite the historical difficulty of emulating the Saturn's rather idiosyncratic and complex architecture, and the fact that SSF is developed by a sole developer (Shima), it has overtaken other Saturn emulators to the point of being able to run the majority of games with few to no issues. It is designed to run game CDs directly, so images must be mounted with a virtual drive program (e.g. Daemon Tools) in order to be played. |
UltraSat | UltraSat can't play any games, but can read the copyright information from 15 different games. It has been discontinued. |
Yabause | Yabause is a Sega Saturn emulator under GNU GPL. It currently runs on FreeBSD, GNU/Linux, Mac OS X, Windows, Dreamcast, and Wii. Yabause support booting games using Saturn cds or iso files. Last update: 2008-12-12 |
Yabuse rr | Yabause is a Sega Saturn emulator under GNU GPL. It currently runs on FreeBSD, GNU/Linux, Mac OS X, Windows, Dreamcast, and Wii. Yabuse rr supports a lot of video recording features the vanilla build of the emulator does not. |
