I am wondering about two special things:


1. Why was the Imager system of Cassini not set on a scan platform? I am really wondering that more than the half possibilites for RADAR-cartography are lost to do other experiments? This seems not an excellent technical solution.

2. Why was the Huygens camera build with such bad resolution? Also the "test images" done at the LPI parking area would give a lot of questions if people were not said that these things in the picture are trees.

Some experiments with a simple CCD-camera at 1/1000 of the illumination given on Earth shows clearly that better pictures could be done without problems, and there are better compression algorithms.

As the soviet space probe has shown during the 70s and 80s, it is possible to make panorama photos from a torrent surface during a flyby of the bus without serios problems.

I am really wondering on those funny self beloving of some ESA-"professionals" and the things told about these bunch of lousy photos they have gotten.

Some experiments with a simple CCD-camera at 1/1000 of the illumination given on Earth shows clearly that better pictures could be done without major problems.

I am working on that topic making cameras for supervision and examination for night and day.
