T42 Mission description now up.

http://saturn.jpl.nasa.gov/multimedia/prod...description.pdf

Imaging highlights:
  • Last of the S hemisphere flyover sequence.
  • Long VIMS stretch in "noodle mode" going into northern territory. ("noodle mode" gives a longer track, but is less accessible for us sitting in the cheap seats.)
  • A VIMS "sit and stare" section
  • ISS imaging of the area in N Belet and polar regions. (Hopefully a good look at the Dancing Monkey feature)

Some images from the April 26, 2008 Distant targeted flyby are down.

[attachment=14107:April_28...ed_flyby.jpg]

I tried to contrast-enhance and make a mosaic from two of the images. I'm not sure exactly what part of Titan we are looking at. Since there are no obvious dark zones, it must be in the high latitudes (either N or S). I'm guessing that the very subtle dark stain might be the N Polar Sea (Kraken Mare). Some high latitude clouds along the terminator might be visible.
