Inclination too high...

Hi Raoul

For Cassini it would be impossible because its orbital inclination is too high so it can use Titan for gravity assists.

A slow spiral into the rings via ion-drive would allow many such photo opportunities, but won't happen for a decade or two yet. Has lots of scientific merit, especially a ring-particle rendevous, and brief orbits around the minor moons.
