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 apparently been available since March 18 or so but I got the email from the PDS today. As before, there are now tarred and zipped archives available for all the images. Seems to be a lot of ring movies in there, spoke formation stuff -- are there any exciting moon encounters in this batch?

There are a few nontargeted icy satellite flybys but no targeted ones. The most interesting satellite images are great views of Tethys' Ithaca Chasma from ~180,000 km. There are some decent views of Mimas and Enceladus from ~200,000 km and Rhea from ~350,000 km. I haven't checked if there are interesting images of the small 'rocks' yet.
FWIW I don't think these images became available until right at the end of March (I checked every day in the last week of March ![]() |
