Titan Flyby - Apr. 10, 2007
Sea Hunt - Cassini Style
Cassini's next Titan flyby on April 10, 2007, will bring the
spacecraft
over new parts of familiar terrain - the Saturnian moon's north polar
region. During this radar pass, more lakes or seas are expected to be
visible.
Among the new parts of familiar terrain to be imaged will be the other
side boundary of the 'black sea', which could tell scientists more
about
its size. Additionally, the radar team has aligned this pass slightly
southward so that it will align up with a future altimetry flyby
planned
for May 12.
