I heard about a peak on Iapetus that may be taller than Olympus Mons on Mars. I was wondering if the RADAR instrument will be used in the January encounter to verify this. What is the maximum distance the RADAR can be used?

I noticed Ted Stryk's excellent 12/2004 image in this post that I'll link here:
http://www.unmannedspaceflight.com/index.p...mp;#entry101828 I was wondering which PDS or raw images this was made from. Ted's processed image may be worth substituting over certain areas in my map if that's OK, or I could go to the original images. Is this from about 700000km out on approach? I'd be interested in any background info on this. For some reason these aren't showing up when I do simple searches on the PDS or the raw images page. Might be fun to help complete this dormant thread. This is the approach image I'm currently using in the map. Is Ted's image a sharpened version of the one I'm using? Thanks, -------------------- Steve [ my home page and planetary maps page ]

Yes. Same dataset. I applied a variant of Tim Parker's super-resolution technique to the images and made a color overlay.
