Just watching the news conference that just ended and Bob Mitchell mentioned that the raw images from Cassini starting after SOI will be available on the web shortly after we get them, much like MER. This is news to me but good news for those outside of the loop so to speak.

I don't know how this is going down but it seemed to me that this would be started after SOI, meaning not tomorrow morning or Friday afternoon (T0) but later and then from then on in the mission

Better than that: The images are available *now* and I'm already getting myself swamped. At last we get to see some really recent images (except for Phoebe where the images appeared quickly).

What they need is like a scaled down version of what we have, so that you can select by target, resolution, image number, sub-spacecraft point, etc.

"I don't think some kind of automated JPEG-isation a la MER is a suitable option"
 I've never been more happy to be proved wrong! Jason, are the June 21st images of Rhea the ones that show a bright spot near the terminator? |
