Abstract
The updated status of the cooperation between NASA and ASI on the Cassini mission is here presented. This outstanding scientific mission is devoted to study the Saturnian system with a NASA orbiter and a ESA probe. The Italian involvement, managed by the Agenzia Spaziale Italiana (ASI), concerns the design and development of important Cassini Orbiter subsystems. Promotion of the Italian science community’s interests and of the national industry’s technological capabilities are the rationales for the cooperation.
