This map of Saturn's moon Titan shows the location mapped with the Cassini
radar mapper using its synthetic aperture radar imaging mode on April 30,
2006.
The global map shows the areas mapped so far by radar. The top radar swath
was mapped during a flyby on Oct. 26, 2004. The middle swath was taken
during the Feb. 15, 2005, flyby.
Labels represent the approximate longitude. The radar swaths are
superimposed on a false-color image made from observations by NASA's
Hubble Space Telescope.
Cassini's radar has revealed a variety of geologic features, including
impact craters, wind-blown deposits, channels and cryovolcanic features.
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 was designed, developed and assembled at JPL. The radar
instrument was built by JPL and the Italian Space Agency, working with
team members from the United States and several European countries.
