The Looking Ahead article for Rev50 was posted on Tuesday:

http://ciclops.org/view.php?id=3800

There are three, non-targeted icy satellite encounters coming up at the end of the month: Dione, Enceladus, and Tethys. The Tethys encounter has a very similar geometry to those we've seen over the last few months, showing the region west of Ithaca Chasma at moderate phase angles. The Dione and Enceladus encounters are much more interesting, IMHO.

The Dione encounter will cover the sub-Saturnian hemisphere. A large mosaic is planned over that hemisphere at 270-300 m/pixel (around 20 footprints IIRC). This would allow coverage of the wispy terrain terrain there at phase angles which should make the view pretty dramatic. Also, the impact basins of the leading hemisphere should be quite visible.

The Enceladus encounter will provide the best view to date of Enceladus' leading hemisphere.
