Abstract:	Introduction to Space Plasmas -- The Sun-Saturn Connection -- Spacecraft and Instrumentation -- Magnetic Field Characterisation of Saturn’s Bow Shock -- Quasi-perpendicular High Mach Number Collisionless Shocks -- The Magnetic Structure of Saturn’s Magnetosheath -- Summary and Perspective -- Bibliography.
	This thesis focuses on the very high Mach number shock wave that is located sunward of Saturn's strong magnetic field in the continuous high-speed flow of charged particles from the Sun (the solar wind). The author exploits the fact that the Cassini spacecraft is the only orbiter in a unique parameter regime, far different from the more familiar near-Earth space, to provide in-situ insights into the unreachable exotic regime of supernova remnants. This thesis bridges the gap between shock physics in the Solar System and the physics of ultra-high Mach number shocks around the remnants of supernova explosions, since to date research into the latter has been restricted to theory, remote observations, and simulations.
