Target Name: Tethys Is a satellite of: Saturn Mission: Cassini-Huygens Spacecraft: Cassini Orbiter Instrument: Imaging Science Subsystem Product Size: 1969 samples x 1181 lines Produced By: Cassini Imaging Team Full-Res TIFF: PIA11008.tif (2.328 MB) Full-Res JPEG: PIA11008.jpg (321.3 kB)

Original Caption Released with Image: Tethys Atlas Index Presented here is a complete set of cartographic map sheets from a high-resolution Tethys atlas, a project of the Cassini Imaging Team. The map sheets form a 15-quadrangle series covering the entire surface of Tethys at a nominal scale of 1:1,000,000. An index for the atlas is included here, along with an unlabeled version of each terrain section. The map data was acquired by the Cassini imaging experiment. The mean radius of Tethys used for projection of the maps is 536.3 kilometers (333.2 miles). Names for features have been approved by the International Astronomical Union.

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.
