Goals: - Coverage of whole Saturn system from approx. distance and epoch of Iapetus targeted flyby (for PR purposes)

 

Pointing (pdt issues):
1. Satellites:
- Tracking duration per moon: 65 sec; Hy 70s; Titan 3 min.
- Targeting order: Hy (2374), Ti (2415), Te (2416), Mi (2417), Rh (2418), En (2419), Di (2433)
2. Saturn (trigger 2434), WAC mosaic:
- WAC 1x5 shaped panel centered at Saturn (outer ftprts for moons locations)
- Dwell >65s/ftprt
3. Rings NAC mosaic:
- Follow ring from lower left to shadow (at lower right)
- => 1x5 + 1 + 1x5 per ansa, and ~1x8 along Saturn disk
- Dwell >66s/ftprt
4. Saturn VIMS mosaic:
- 2x2 mosaic; about 10mrad shifts between panels
- Dwell >7:02 min/ftprt
