2005-Apr-16 Titan close flyby & gravity assist (T5)
(best view to date) 950 From http://www.planetary.org/saturn/cassini_tour.html Another look at the same hemisphere as in T4 ( My favorite so far, so much more interesting From above hours before closest approach. http://space.jpl.nasa.gov/cgi-bin/wspace?t...porbs=1&brite=1 |

They found that Titan's atmosphere extends out farther than they thought. |

I want to see if there is a difference in the smokey black splotches seen in the last flyby.
So excited! |

From VP Titan News Blog
"Images start being played back at 6:56 am on Sunday morning. Playback continues (for imaging) until 11:30 am. How does this translate into being placed on the JPL Raw images page? On T4, images didn't show up until almost a day after images had been returned to earth, to the disappointment of the public and to the consternation of the imaging team who couldn't even release slightly processed images until after JPL had the images up on their raw images page. Hopefully, there won't be the same delay on this flyby but I can't make any guarantees. Depending on how JPL has the system setup, given that it is a Sunday when these images come down, it could be Monday before the images start showing up. " QUOTE (dilo @ Apr 17 2005, 07:38 AM)

We don't even get approach images anymore.
At the worst we will see something on Thursday just as in the last encounter pics where released a week to the day of the encounter. Maybe it has to do with the trajectory or weekend shift or...ok now now Nit picking |

Maybe it has to do with the trajectory or weekend shift or...ok now now Nit picking I've been complaining about the lack of approach images as well, but there is a reason of sorts. On the previous flybys, Ta, Tb, and T3, we approached Titan before Saturn periapsis. So there was time to stare at Titan for a while. Now we approach from after periapsis, so much of the 2-3 days before Titan C/A when we took approach images on the previous flybys is now filled up look at Saturn, its rings, Mimas, Rhea, Polydeuces... so basically there is no time to do it on these post-periapsis flybys. -------------------- &@^^!% Jim!

Even though they haven't shown up yet on the JPL raw images page, the images are on the ground. Missing a few though...

Missing as in not transmitted, or missing as in missed the target?

The issue you described seems an onboard hw/sw malfunction instead of simple trasmission problem. Anyway, I'm very excited waiting to see your announce of first releases Bye. -------------------- I always think before posting! - Marco -
