One things for sure, this flyby should provide a better look at areas in between all previous flybys.

QUOTE (Decepticon @ Nov 25 2005, 01:40 PM) One things for sure, this flyby should provide a better look at areas in between all previous flybys. I'll defer to Jason (volcanopele) on this one. That said... The last listing (August 12, 2005) of T9 science objectives I've seen listed ISS's primary goals during this flyby as "Low-phase global map, and an examination of wind/cloud motions," though I wouldn't be surprised if ISS NAC filled in some gaps as a ride along. In fact, I've seen "ISS High Res NAC" slotted for 6-4 hrs. before T9 C/A; however, this might refer to the cloud observations. On the other hand, I believe that while UVIS has control of pointing during the 6-hour window surrounding T9 C/A (4 hours before and 2 hours after), both UVIS and ISS NAC are listed as pointing towards Titan's specular point during this time frame, so gap-filling high resolution imagery could be acquired. CIRS ("trace constituents in Titan's stratosphere.") and VIMS ("medium resolution regional map") acquire data further out while inbound to T9 C/A. |

I know this does not have anything to do with Dec 26th flyby but...look at this image from "Where is Cassini now"....
I wonder if they will take pictures of that...

I'm pretty sure I've seen similar images already.
I hope we get a NEW Titan map soon, I was hoping after this flyby. I even tried myself to make a new map. Purely a laugh in my opinion.
