I'd like to obtain or create a table for the Voyager images with distance information, e.g.
Volume, Image, Target, Distance (km) 5101, C1327538, Io, 134474 (The indexes with the PDS volumes have the times for each image) Does anyone know a source for this or good or simple way to calculate it? I've just started looking at the documentation for SPICE at http://naif.jpl.nasa.gov/naif/, which looks like it would be the way to do it, but I'm not sure how involved it would be. This would give you the size of the target relative to the camera field of view, which would allow you to interleave the narrow and wide angle camera views, and also turn off the center-detection algorithm when generating movies. Thank you for any pointers! |
