Are there any plans for imaging Rhea on March 21? I noticed all other moons are on the wrong side of Saturn during periapsis passage except Rhea for which there's a pretty close pass, under 100 000 km, although closest approach happens at a very high phase angle.

Rhea approach geometry and closest approach from the Solar System Simulator.

AMEN. I don't understand why so much geometry change between frames.. this is not a super close encounter. (sigh)
