The Radio Science Subsystem sent radio signals from Cassini to Earth using the spacecraft’s large radio dish called the high-gain antenna. En route, the radio signal interacted with Saturn’s moons, rings or Saturn's atmosphere. When the signals reached Earth, scientists studied how the signals were altered, which helped them learn about gravity fields, atmospheric structure, composition, ring structure and particle sizes, surface properties and more.
