[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.

Does this mean we will have no global images of the sunlit side AT ALL? That's a disaster for the mapping gurus I would think....

On the other hand, it gives us another chunk of "Here there be tygers" terrain in the solar system to look forward to discovering in the futue.

I get the impression that poorly imaged terrain isn't going to be any bigger than would have been the case had nothing gone wrong. Seems to be global multispectral coverage that was lost. |
