Cassini Spacecraft update

Just wondering if there's any type of update for the Cassini spacecraft continuing on its' mission around Saturn? On my program it was left behind as Saturn continued on in its orbit eight months ago.

Updated trajectories for Huygens and Cassini are included in Celestia v1.6.
Unfortunately, they use xyzv values (not just xyz), so they're not compatible with v1.5.1
See
viewtopic.php?f=2&t=13710 for information about Windows Celestia v1.6.0 RC1.

Thanks

Currently Cassini's orbit is planned till 2017. They are available in spice format, maybe someone can convert these to xyz
