[Moderator's note: This thread contains images from the Iapetus 2007-09-10 flyby and discussion of them. It was created by splitting this thread which contains pre-flyby discussion]
Another CL-UV3-GRN-IR1 set was posted today, though Iapetus seems to have been hiding from the green and IR filters...here's my best effort at making something from the CL and UV3 images. Lots of topography on the limb! --Emily -------------------- My website - My Patreon - @elakdawalla on Twitter - Please support unmannedspaceflight.com by donating here.

@VP: Well, if it's any consolation to you, the last downlink (yesterday, starting 14:15 UTC) certainly didn't feal "real time" to us. Unless the imaging data was downlinked at the very end of the pass, there was an obvious delay because no new images were posted on the raw page as of 21:30 UTC. I'm inclined to think the raw posting mechanism isn't totally automated, rather it is triggered by someone after the DL is complete. Who knows...
Rob, the way I see in Emily's table, we might not see any new images until tomorrow's huge 14 hour, partly redundant downlink. The next downlink (2 hrs duration) might only contain RADAR SAR data. That huge downlink is scheduled to begin something like 07:00 UTC September 11th. -------------------- |
