Rev 102 'looking ahead' now on Ciclops.

http://ciclops.org/view/5470/Rev_102

There is so much in this targeted encounter I just note one highlight.
QUOTE: "RADAR also will observe a set of bright streaks south of Senkyo, previously observed by ISS and VIMS. The VIMS team has hypothesized that these streaks are mountain ranges. RADAR’s observations of these features could prove or disprove this possibility."

Of equal interest to me, however, is this earlier observation (Jan 31st).
QUOTE "Next, ISS will image again Titan’s sub-Saturn hemisphere, this time from a distance of 1.94 million kilometers (1.21 million miles). In addition to looking for clouds, this observation provides an opportunity to image Titan’s largest methane sea, Kraken Mare, albeit at a moderate emission angle."

I'm wondering if this will be an opportunity to use the polarising filters to look for specular reflection of sky light from Kraken Mare, as we discussed here a little while ago:

My RADAR swath page is now updated to include the T50 swath:

http://pirlwww.lpl.arizona.edu/~perry/RADAR/

This includes the 256 pixels/deg. version of the swath as well as the ISS+RADAR basemap (RADAR through T50, ISS through T52)
