| Description |
English:
Cassini's speed related to Sun. The various gravity assists form visible peaks on the left, while the periodic variation on the right is caused by the spacecraft's orbit around Saturn. The data was from JPL Horizons Ephemeris System. The speed above is in kilometers per second. Note also that the minimum speed achieved during Saturnian orbit is more or less equal to Saturn's own orbital velocity, which is the ~5 km/s velocity which Cassini matched to enter orbit.
Français :
Vitesse de Cassini par rapport au Soleil. L'effet de l'assistance gravitationnelle se traduit par les pics visibles sur la gauche du graphiques. Les pics de droite sont dus à l'orbite de la sonde autour de Saturne. La vitesse est indiquée en km/s. On peut remarquer que la vitesse minimale de la sonde autour de Saturne est égale à la vitesse orbitale de Saturne soit à peu près 5 km/s, vitesse qui a été atteinte par la sonde lorsqu'elle a été capturée par Saturne.
