I have been using the solar system simulator alot on the July 23 Tethys encounter and from what I see, Cassini will be able to image all of the remaining bits of Tethys' south polar region that until has been poorly imaged.

Actually, Rev26 could be a good orbit for icy sats. Decent observations of Rhea and Dione are also planned, though not as good IMHO as the Tethys stuff. Like the Rev25 Enceladus observations where we missed the satellite, the Tethys observation is a ride-along observation. We should still hit the satellite, this time (fingers crossed)
