Cassini got many targets of opportunity because it stayed in the plane shared by the satellites, for many years, as well as the (generally) shorter orbits and much larger resolution on the camera, so the spacecraft didn't need to get particularly close. There were also many more small targets to choose from, of course.


I think you meant Galileo. Cassini flew by Jupiter briefly in 2000.

Not that much of a chance. A 53 day orbit means a little less than 7 perijoves per year.

Agreed, although the orbit period has now been reduced to 43 days.

I ran a search with the reference trajectory a while back, and the best one I found then was an 8-pixel view of Amalthea in July 2025 which may or may not be usable within other constraints.

No, I meant Cassini (referring to flybys of very small irregular satellites). Saturn just has so many more to choose from.

There are still distant observations I believe are planned. There are shown here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hAgLl354PbE...i5&index=15


Ganymede Mid 2021 50,000KM
Europa Mid 2021 88,000KM
Europa Early 2022 47,000KM
Io Mid 2022 85,000KM

Plus more.

Does anyone recognize who processed this image? Was it one of our resident wizards?

It was posted in another forum, and I'd like to add an appropriate credit.

Looks like a derivative of this PJ06_123 image https://www.missionjuno.swri.edu/junocam/processing?id=1330
which is the work of Gerald Eichstädt and Justin Cowart.
