Images from the T113 flyby of Titan (rev 222) have come down. From the Ciclops description http://www.ciclops.org/view/8189/Rev222?js=1 and the Cassini flyby page http://saturn.jpl.nasa.gov/mission/flybys/titan20150928/ this was an important flyby for radar, the ion and neutral mass spectrometer (INMS) and VIMS.
Both the narrow angle and wide angle cameras provided imaging of Titan during the approach. As noted in Ciclops: “Afterward, ISS will acquire a short, five-frame mosaic of western Xanadu and eastern Shangri-La. This is ISS's first mosaic of this part of Titan since T12, much earlier in the mission. The images from this mosaic will have a resolution of approximately 1.1 kilometers (0.68 miles) per pixel.” Hmm … seems to me we got a pretty good look at the W coast of Xanadu during T111, on May 7th http://www.ciclops.org/view/8051/Rev215 although mostly with the wide angle camera. http://www.unmannedspaceflight.com/index.p...st&id=35711 Will be eager to see the T113 SAR which should extend from the eastern portion of Xanadu to Elba facula and include Mt Doom and Sotra Patera. The figure shows 4 of the 5 NAC approach images on the background WAC image from T111. |
