Today, Cassini has a 50,000 km encounter of Tethys' south polar region. This should provide us with a great view of the south polar region impact basin.

For more info on this encounter, check out my blog entry for it:
http://volcanopele.blogspot.com/2005/05/to...-encounter.html

as well as a simulated view from near close-approach (actually 3 hours before for reasons I can only wink.gif at):

As I noted on my blog, the Tethys images were lost because the ISS ring observation before it went over its data allocation and ISS was "data policed", because compression was WAY over-estimated. The Tethys observations were taken, but were never saved on the SSR on board Cassini.
