Jan 1, 2008 PDS release, Early Christmas present from the PDS Options

[Bjorn Jonsson]

There is an early 'Christmas present' at the PDS: The January 1, 2008 data release (ISS and VIMS) is already there. I have managed to take a quick look at all of the ISS images and post a summary at http://www.mmedia.is/bjj/misc/css_stuff/im...s_overview.html . This also includes all of the earlier ISS data volumes.

With the exception of Titan, there are very few interesting satellite images this time, Cassini's orbit was highly inclined. The most interesting ones are probably the ones of Hyperion in coiss_2029\data\1550261798_1550410364 (mentioned by Emily in this thread).

There is heavy emphasis on the rings with lots of various movies including F ring movies, spoke movies etc. plus lots of multispectral coverage showing both the lit side and the unlit side. There are also many interesting images of Saturn, mainly WAC images. These include great images of the south pole obtained at high inclination. There are several images there that I'm going to process when I have the time (probably immediately after Christmas).

Updates to the Cassini image database (see this thread for further details) are available at the following URLs for volumes coiss_2028, coiss_2029 and coiss_2030 respectively:
