Titan Flyby - Apr. 26, 2007
Cassini Extends Mapping of Titan's Surface
Cassini's radar eyes will image additional regions near Titan's north
pole during an April 26, 2007, flyby. The instrument will image the
area
slightly north of an area nicknamed the "black sea." The radar
coverage
will cross over four previous radar swaths and begin to fill in more
of
the gaps in the coverage of Titan's north pole. On this flyby,
Cassini's
infrared spectrometer will see the lit and dark sides of Titan,
looking
for hot spots and lightning. The imaging cameras will do global
mapping
and full-disk mosaics.
