An overview of magnetic field observations from the first 9 months of the Cassini orbital tour at Saturn will be described.
Observations within the magnetosphere will be focussed upon, including the dynamic nature of the magnetosphere, the various
magnetospheric regions traversed and the variety of current systems observed. Comparisons between earlier Pioneer and
Voyager observations at Saturn will be given as well as comparisons between magnetospheric dynamics at Jupiter and the
Earth.
