I have noticed that the January 1, 2007 Cassini PDS release is already available, see http://pds-imaging.jpl.nasa.gov/data/cassi...assini_orbiter/
I haven't downloaded all of the imaging data and I'm just beginning to digest what I already have but there are some beautiful images of Enceladus' plumes and satellite mutual events, images of the G and D rings and interesting images of Saturn's nightside and fairly good Iapetus images. Radar and VIMS is also available. All in all a nice 'Christmas gift' . |

It's starting to appear, the ISS volumes COISS_2026 and COISS_2027 are up, but not searchable yet. They can be accessed directly:
http://pdsimg.jpl.nasa.gov/data/cassini/ca...ter/coiss_2026/ http://pdsimg.jpl.nasa.gov/data/cassini/ca...ter/coiss_2027/ I've done a preliminary browse of the thumbnails to see if anything interesting's up. This is still the time period when Cassini was spending a lot of time on the nightside, seeing unlit rings. The real good Saturn stuff should be appearing in the Jan 1, 2008 release. In the meantime, here are a few takeouts: Hyperion in natural color, 2x magnified. Iapetus in natural and IR3/GRN/UV3 color, 2x magnified. November 27, 2006. Couple of Saturn north pole shots. A moon shadow (probably Mimas) visible near the terminator in the left image. Titan and a lovely shot with Saturn's hazy limb showing through the translucent, unlit rings: -------------------- |
