Laboratory calibration of the cassini cosmic dust analyser (CDA) using new, low density projectiles

Srama, R.; Grün, E.; Müller, M. +9 more

The Cassini Cosmic Dust Analyser (CDA), developed from the Galileo and Ulysses dust instruments with the addition of a Chemical Analyser, is currently travelling outward from the Earth (collecting data from March 1999 onward) to the Saturnian system (arrival 2004) via Jupiter. The Chemical Analyser will provide information on the elemental composi…

Cassini/VIMS observations of the moon

Sotin, C.; Brown, R. H.; Baines, K. H. +19 more

In this paper, we present preliminary scientific results obtained from the analysis of VIMS (Visible and Infrared Mapping Spectrometer) lunar images and spectra. These data were obtained during the Cassini Earth flyby in August 1999. Spectral ratios have been produced in order to derive lunar mineralogical maps. Some spectra observed at the north-…
