Hi everybody,
Are there any plans for icy moon imaging on June 30?
I took a look at the solar system simulator and had the impression that at least Enceladus could allow some decent shots. (Enceladus: C/A (around 9:00 UTC) about 175,000 km, Phase 60°).
And there are two more goodies! A few hours before C/A Enceladus will be in front of Saturn, allowing one or two more Kodak moments. And a few hours earlier (around 0:00 UTC) Cassini should get a glimpse of Enceladus’ leading heimspere, which has been poorly covered so far.

there is a CIRS set of thermal scans of Enceladus that has ISS as a RIDER.... 2006-181T06:50:00
for about an hour ... this is a Saturn TWT Periapsis segment ..... mostly atmospheric studies and
MAPS work with some retargetables and an atmos star occ of Beta Ori ... this is the final Equatorial
periapsis... from Rev 26 on it will be Ring Viewing ... expect spokes to be back ....
