I believe Rhea and Enceladus get some good views on this flyby. Not sure if both will get coverage.
maybe VP can clear this passes observations.

Bjorn Jonsson where do you find these precise information on flyby distances???

QUOTE (Toma B @ Jun 26 2005, 12:49 PM) Bjorn Jonsson where do you find these precise information on flyby distances???  There are some SPICE kernels out there that I downloaded. These files contain information on Cassini's trajectory, satellite orbits etc. I then ran these through a program I wrote to calculate things like closest approach distances, viewing geometry etc. I might generate a big table for the entire tour one day... Regarding the Rev010 Tethys flyby, the phase angle was rather high (123 degrees) at closest approach. |
