University College London/Birkbeck - Cosmic alliance

Space scientists descended on the capital for a conference hosted by two of London's universities. The 48th meeting of the Cassini Project Science Group, hosted by University College London and Birkbeck, University of London, focused on a joint mission between Nasa, the European Space Agency and the Italian Space Agency to study Saturn and its moons. The meeting last week discussed the project's science results and the current and future operations of the mission.
