Default ep 84. why is Cassini mission so expensive
Hi,

Not so long ago I read that Cassini mission was extended for 2 more years. Estimated costs 160 mil US dollar! What can be so expensive to keep the mission running?? It must be just salaries for a dozen of scientists + communication channel with the probe?
