I'm looking for a recent map ot Titan. Steve Albers's page links to one done by Fridger Schrempp in April 2005. Cassini has done a dozen flybys since then. Does anyone know if an updated map has been released.

Thanks VP!!!!
Is this release of the ISS Titan map part of your work? I was just using this map to enlighten an office mate!!!!! Exploring a world by investigating the different equatorial albedo regions. Then the serendipty of the north polar passes (I know that main reason was to crank the inclination for CASSINI). Soon we will have more RADAR over the south pole. Those radar noodles across the surface and the refined imaging data really serve to illustrate that method. Fuzzy features slowly come into focus. The slow pealing away of mystery to reveal details with even more mystery. Neat thing would be to have a movie showing the early Keck maps and then slowly overlaying the different CASSINI map versions (including each RADAR noodle as it occurred) until we see the current state. That would be a neat educational tool. Any of you image gurus game for that? Thanks to the CASINI team and all you UMSF folks!!!!! Just Glorious!!!! Craig |
