I've been using the solar system simulator of late and I can say that this orbit will be far better for icy moon imaging that the last one.
Dione: C/A at about 564,000km. Excellent view of entire Saturn facing hemisphere with a much improved view of high northern latitudes. Rhea: C/A at about 470,000km. Tethys: C/A at 551,000km. Mimas: C/A at about 315,000km. -------------------- I call heaven and earth to witness against you this day, that I have set before thee life and death, the blessing and the curse; therefore choose life, that thou mayest live, thou and thy seed.

One of my weirder ideas (if this turns out to be original with me, if anyone else is working on it, Yea!):
Any chance that Polydeuces (any pronunciation guide for that? I assume 'paul-e-due-cess', but does anyone really know?) and some of the other co-orbitals are tidally lofted co-accreted satellites of their Trojan hosts? (I include Hyperion here too) |
