The next Titan flyby is a little over a week away but it is never too early to think about it. The Looking Ahead page for Rev44 and the T30 flyby is now posted:
http://ciclops.org/view.php?id=3026 Rev44 on the whole is pretty quiet. The T30 flyby will be especially important for RADAR. The first half of the C/A pass will be dedicated to altimetry, giving RADAR their longest altimetry swath obtained to date. This swath is intended to validate their "TOPO from SAR" method of deriving altitudes. This method uses the central beam in SAR mode as a side-looking altimeter. The T30 altimetry swath will cover a number of previous SAR swaths, allowing for validation of the altitudes derived from those passes. The second half of the C/A pass is dedicated to SAR. RADAR will image the central and southern portion of the Caspian Sea (the Cassini site got it wrong, T28 was never adjusted and looked at the northern part, just like T25). -------------------- &@^^!% Jim!
