Cassini image database & updates, And notifications of PDS data releases Options

[Bjorn Jonsson]

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' .

Folks, just a heads up that 3 new ISS DVDs are now available at the PDS, covering a data collection period period of April 1 - June 30, 2007:

Just glancing through the index tables, apart from the usual assortment of Titan flyby imagery, Saturn and rings, there are some nice higher resolution multispectral observations of Dione, Tethys, Rhea and Atlas (highest res imagery throughout the mission) and also lower resolution stuff on Mimas and Iapetus (Cassini's first good look at the trailing side), Enceladus low phase observations, couple of mutuals, etc.

Also, new VIMS data is here:
