I stole a little time at lunch to compare camera resolutions. Note: I simply took quoted resolutions at specified distances from public websites and normalized resolutions to 1,000 km distance. View these as approximations. So with that, here is how the high resolution/narrow angle cameras from various missions would compare at set distances: 1K km 10K km Ganeymede to: Jupiter Io (closest) Io (furthest) Web quoted resolution JSO 2 m 20 m 2.1 km 1.3 km 3.0km 0.4 m at 200 km EE 10 m 100 m 10.7 km 6.5 km 14.9 km 1 m at 100 km Cassini 6 m 60 m 6.4 km 3.9 km 8.9 km 0.024 m at 4 km MRO 1 m 10 m 1.1 km 0.6 km 1.5 km 0.3 m at 300 km Deep Impact 3 m 30 m 3.1 km 1.9 km 4.3 km 2 m at 700 km Page 3-5 of the JSO report says that the 0.5 m optics chosen as a baseline could achieve an optical resolution of 775 m from the distance of Ganymede, which is considerably better than is in my chart here. The difference could be caused by (1) a loss of resolution between theoretical optics and what is achieved with an actual CCD implementation (2) I don't know what I'm doing in putting together this chart. Caveat emptor!
