Krupp, N.; Jones, G. H.; Roussos, E. +5 more

The moon Dione orbits Saturn at 6.2 Saturn radii R_S deep in the Kronian magnetosphere. In situ studies of the moon-magnetosphere interaction processes near Dione were possible with the Cassini/Huygens mission which flew by close to Dione five times at distances between 99 and 516 km. In addition, Cassini crossed Dione's L-shell more tha…
