Details for the next Cassini revolution are now available here. This orbit includes yet another ring occultation, high-res observations of the F-ring, studies of the environment between the inner D-ring and Saturn's cloud tops (proximal orbits anyone?), and a nice Titan flyby focussing primarily on atmosphere and temperature gradients. Also featured, a final glimpse of Iapetus, with a ~1,000,000km flyby which should improve cartography of the northern regions a little. The Iapetus observations are at a similar range to the best Voyager 2 images of that moon, but with a much better camera - the flyby should fill some gaps at medium resolution in the north polar areas.
Much to look forward to! |
