New perspectives on Titan's upper atmosphere from a reanalysis of the Voyager 1 UVS solar occultations
Strobel, Darrell F.; Vervack, Ronald J.; Sandel, Bill R.
We have reanalyzed the Voyager 1 UVS solar occultations by Titan to expand upon previous analyses and to resolve inconsistencies that have been noted in the scientific literature. To do so, we have developed a detailed model of the UVS detector and improved both the data reduction methods and retrieval techniques. In comparison to the values previ…
Large impact features on middle-sized icy satellites
Schenk, Paul M.; McKinnon, William B.; Moore, Jeffrey M. +2 more
All of the large impact features of the middle-sized icy satellites of Saturn and Uranus that were clearly observed by the Voyager spacecraft are described. New image mosaics and stereo-and-photoclinometrically-derived digital elevation models are presented. Landforms related to large impact features, such as secondary craters and possible antipod…
The Cassini-Huygens flyby of Jupiter
Lebreton, Jean-Pierre; Matson, Dennis L.; Spilker, Linda J. +2 more
The Cassini-Huygens spacecraft flew by Jupiter on December 30, 2000. The instruments aboard the spacecraft started making scientific observations three months earlier. Joint, collaborative observations were carried out with the teams of other spacecraft, notably Galileo, and with Earth-based observers. An operational overview of the flyby is prese…
