After a 20-year mission, the spacecraft Cassini is preparing to make a final death dive into the planet Saturn. Scientists and engineers at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory said their decision to end the life of the spacecraft in this way is because of what they found during the mission – the ingredients for life are present in some of Saturn’s moons. VOA’s Elizabeth Lee reports from the Jet Propulsion Laboratory near Los Angeles.
