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' . |

As usual, Bjorn has created updates to the massive Cassini Image database for this latest release. For those of you who haven't seen it before, Bjorn made a Microsoft Access database containing all the metadata for all the images released by Cassini ISS to the Planetary Data System. This database is great because you can construct really quite complex queries and have it spit out lists of images that you might be interested in -- for instance, you could, if you wanted to, find all images that contain both Saturn and Titan that were taken through a RED filter, or find all images of Atlas with resolutions higher than 5 km/pixel, and so on. I use it to produce lists of files that I can then run wget on to automatically download only the images I'm interested in.
I have now created a page on the Society's website that links to the original database and all the updates. Enjoy! And don't forget to check out the pages I made that show all reasonably good images of Saturn's moons (excepting Titan) -- I haven't updated these pages yet with the April 1 release but I'll begin to work on that now that Bjorn's updated the database. --Emily -------------------- My website - My Patreon - @elakdawalla on Twitter - Please support unmannedspaceflight.com by donating here.
