❐
Install the RPWS with its wires onto the UEM. The open side goes toward the UEM; the end with pinholes B and D goes
down against the glue at the top of the HELIUM TANK supports. The other end near pinhole F goes under BAY 4. Add
more glue as necessary. Align the RPWS so that the bottom wire, in pinhole E, is immediately below the MAGNETO-
METER BOOM. If one wire interferes with the CDA, bend the CDA out of its way.
THE HUYGENS PROBE
❐
Insert the small end of the HUYGENS PROBE into the PROBE ADAPTER RING. Twist it slightly so the friction points will
hold the PROBE in place. The PROBE is removable from your model to simulate its operation. Optionally, glue it in
place.
THIS COMPLETES YOUR CASSINI MODEL.
ABOUT YOUR CASSINI MODEL
Its scale is about 1/37. The Huygens Probe is included for completeness, but not much detail is represented on the
Probe spacecraft. None of its scientific instruments are represented. The Magnetometer Boom is only about 2/3 scale
length, and slightly thicker than scale, for convenience. The optional RPWS antenna wires, if installed, are much
shorter than scale length, for convenience. They are each actually about as long as the Magnetometer Boom.
