"Jupiter Studies Halted Over Glitch. NASA suspended the Cassini spacecraft's observations of Jupiter on Wednesday because of a problem with a maneuvering system. Cassini had been sending back images and other scientific data about Jupiter as it moves toward Saturn and its moon Titan on a $3.4 billion, U.S.-European mission. Observations were halted after one of the spacecraft's four 'reaction wheels' experienced problems."
