The unfortunate fact is that middle-infrared CCD-like cameras were being invented as Cassini was being designed and had chip sizes of something like 32x32 pixels (or whatever). If Cassini was being designed now, it's very likely that a third camera would have made it through all the mission descoping, but with a 1 to 5 micrometer or some such wavelength range, and something like 512x512 pixels.
But we're stuck with the instrumentation possible when the mission was being designed. |
