The CHARM Talks



Results of the Cassini mission were shared monthly with the press, planetary science community, and general public through the Cassini-Huygens Analysis and Results of the Mission (CHARM) presentations. These consisted of monthly telecons with accompanying supporting materials such as Powerpoint or PDF presentation files or videos. Here we provide access to these presentation files as a means of sharing the timeline of historical discoveries throughout the Cassini-Huygens mission.
