CICLOPS: Cassini Imaging Central Laboratory for OPerationS
Map of Tethys - February 2010

This global map of Saturn's moon Tethys was created using images taken during Cassini spacecraft flybys.

The map is an equidistant (simple cylindrical) projection and has a scale of 293 meters (960 feet) per pixel at the equator in the full size version. The mean radius of Tethys used for projection of this map is 536.3 kilometers (333.2 miles). The resolution of the map is 32 pixels per degree.

This map is an update to the version released in June 2008. See PIA08416. Unlike the 2008 and earlier iterations, this new map does not use Voyager images to fill in gaps in Cassini's coverage. Only Cassini images are used here.

The Cassini Equinox Mission is a joint United States and European endeavor. The Jet Propulsion Laboratory, a division of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, manages the mission for NASA's Science Mission Directorate, Washington, D.C. The Cassini orbiter was designed, developed and assembled at JPL. The imaging team consists of scientists from the US, England, France, and Germany. The imaging operations center and team lead (Dr. C. Porco) are based at the Space Science Institute in Boulder, Colo.
