  • Abstract
    The Cassini Plasma Spectrometer (CAPS) is one of twelve instruments on the Cassini-Huygens spacecraft. As the mission has progressed from launch, through Cruise, Tour, and Extended Mission, the level of automation within Operations and Data Processing has increased. As the Solstice Mission (2nd extended mission) has been approved, a move towards a final set of automated tools is in progress. This paper will address how automation has changed and what decisions were involved in the choice of the final set of automated tools to last through the Solstice Missions (into July 2017).
