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' . |

Iapetus!!!! I can't believe it's been long enough since that flyby that the data is on the PDS already. I can't wait to see what you guys produce from that data set.
I'm looking forward to downloading stuff -- but probably can't get to it until this weekend. Bjorn, I'm ready for the database update whenever you get around to it. --Emily -------------------- My website - My Patreon - @elakdawalla on Twitter - Please support unmannedspaceflight.com by donating here.

A taste of Iapetus data, from the Saturn system PR sequence before C/A. RGB color:
I forgot which star that was to the above right of Iapetus and also apparently another one off the sunlit crescent. EDIT: Quick regional RGB color on the outbound part and one of the parting shots on the right at 2x: The dark stuff truly is remarkably gray on the trailing hemisphere. I'm now wondering whether my plan for redoing the big outbound mosaic in approx. natural color is worth the trouble just to get essentially b/w imagery in the end. There are still odd false color high-res mosaics here and there, though, that weren't released officially. -------------------- |
