This image is the seventh skeet-shoot image taken during Cassini's very
close flyby of Enceladus on Aug. 11, 2008. Damascus Sulcus is crossing
the upper part of the image. (The image is upside down from the
skeet-shoot footprint shown here.) The image was taken with the Cassini
spacecraft narrow-angle camera on Aug. 11, 2008, a distance of
approximately 4,742 kilometers (2,947 miles) above the surface of
Enceladus. Image scale is approximately 30 meters (98 feet) per pixel.
The Cassini-Huygens mission is a cooperative project of NASA, the European
Space Agency and the Italian Space Agency. The Jet Propulsion Laboratory,
a division of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, manages
the mission for NASA's Science Mission Directorate, Washington, D.C. The
Cassini orbiter and its two onboard cameras were designed, developed and
assembled at JPL. The imaging operations center is based at the Space
Science Institute in Boulder, Colo.
