Haven't compiled one of these in a while, but here's web page showing the activities in the current Cassini Science Plan (S41):

Cassini Science Plan 41

The plan runs until about July 1. The data is simply read out of the SPICE event kernel files that Cassini folks provide to NAIF. Be sure to check "NO ASSOCIATED OBSERVATIONS" because paradoxically that's a category for a lot of one-off activities.

Very interesting Joe - thank you very much.
I for one would be very interested in this sort of detail for some of the extended mission orbits (and I'm sure I'm not alone in that)

I notice from the list in 'No Associated Observations' a 9-hour 'Rhea ring search' on 28th June - hope they find something!

As far as I can tell, there's no trajectory/pointing/science plan info posted to NAIF yet for the extended mission. I think they do so on a "just in time" basis or thereabouts, i.e., around July 1 when the current plan runs out.

Big thanks - this is extremely useful, for example for 'reverse engineering' what's happening in some of the raw JPGs.
