In summary, some distant Titan studies, more astrometric observations of smaller inner moons, and obs of the F-ring, and A-ring 'propellers' There's a day-and-a-half stare at 'Ymir' for light-curve data, and a non-targeted Tethys encounter at ~68,000km. This should reveal Odysseus, and the northern hemisphere in some detail - closest approach images should resemble this: |

Here is an animation showing the F ring.:
css_f_ring_20120627_p.avi ( 465.5K ) Number of downloads: 530 This is composed from images N00191724.jpg to N00191763.jpg (40 frames) and is encoded using the Xvid codec. The images were obtained on June 27, 2012 at a range of ~750,000 km. The frame rate is 8 frames/second so this looks a bit jerky. I therefore made an experimental version by 'tweening' the animation using the MSU frame rate conversion filter but it didn't work well for parts of the animation although other parts are better. Here is the tweened version: css_f_ring_20120627_p_msu.avi ( 1.48MB ) Number of downloads: 489 |
