High-resolution Enceladus atlas derived from Cassini-ISS images

The Cassini Imaging Science Subsystem (ISS) acquired 377 high-resolution images (o1 km/pixel) during three close flybys of Enceladus in 2005 [Porco, C.C., et al., 2006. Cassini observes the active south pole of Enceladus. Science 311, 1393–1401.]. We combined these images with lower resolution Cassi...

Description
Summary:The Cassini Imaging Science Subsystem (ISS) acquired 377 high-resolution images (o1 km/pixel) during three close flybys of Enceladus in 2005 [Porco, C.C., et al., 2006. Cassini observes the active south pole of Enceladus. Science 311, 1393–1401.]. We combined these images with lower resolution Cassini images and four others taken by Voyager cameras to produce a high-resolution global controlled mosaic of Enceladus. This global mosaic is the baseline for a high-resolution Enceladus atlas that consists of 15 tiles mapped at a scale of 1:500,000. The nomenclature used in this atlas was proposed by the Cassini imaging team and was approved by the International Astronomical Union (IAU). The whole atlas is available to the public through the Imaging Team’s website (http:// ciclops.org/maps).
