NASA scientists used the fuel reserves that have stayed on it, and send it on a collision course with Saturn.
NASA’s plan is to destroy the spacecraft to avoid a random encounter with one of Saturn’s moons and its pollution as this could affect alien life.
But before the device is destroyed, it will continue to fly between Saturn and its rings and record as much new data.
During the press conference, which took place in the space Agency of the USA on 4 April, the researchers explained why they want to destroy your spaceship and how are you going to implement a plan called the Grand Finale. To destroy the spacecraft, NASA researchers use fuel stocks that are still on the left, and send it on a collision course with Saturn. “The discovery of the device was the reason that scientists took the decision to destroy the device,” said Earl maze, engineer of Jet Propulsion Laboratory of NASA, which manages the mission.
Maze was referring to the warm ocean salt water, which was discovered by the apparatus. This ocean is hiding under the icy crust of Enceladus is a large satellite of Saturn, and its fumes are sent into space. “We can’t allow the device unintentionally came across this intact object, said maze. – the spacecraft should remain at a safe distance. And since we would like to send it to Saturn, the only choice is to self-destroy the probe, controlling the process.”
