This global digital map of Saturn's moon Rhea was created using data taken
during NASA's Cassini and Voyager spacecraft flybys. The map is an
equidistant projection and has a scale of 700 meters (2,300 feet) per
pixel. Equidistant projections preserve distances on a body, with some
distortion of area and direction.
The mean radius of Rhea used for projection of this map is 764 kilometers
(475 miles).
This map is an update to the version released in December 2005. See PIA07780.
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.
