Cassini Scientist for a Day
The 2015 edition of the 'Cassini Scientist for a Day' competition is now open to entries. The competition is designed to give the participants a taste of life as a space scientist. The team working on the NASA/ESA/ASI Cassini-Huygens mission have set aside valuable observing time for educational purposes and they will use this time to take images as part of the 'Cassini Scientist for a Day' competition.

Students must choose one of three targets to be imaged by the Cassini spacecraft in orbit around Saturn and submit a 500-word essay below to justify their choice to a panel of experts. Winners of the competition will receive a special ESA goodie bag and certificate. In addition, the winning essays will be published on the ESA website.

The closing date for the competition is 22:59 GMT, 26 February 2016.
