Controlled Mosaic of Enceladus Otbah Se 400K -43.5/135 CMN, 2018 GENERAL NOTES This map sheet is the 12th of a 15-quadrangle series covering the entire surface of Enceladus at 140° 130° a nominal scale of 1: 400 000. This map series is the third version of the Enceladus atlas and supersedes the release from 20101. The source of map data was the Cassini imaging experiment 150° 120° (Porco et al., 2004)2. Cassini-Huygens is a joint NASA/ESA/ASI mission to explore the Saturnian system. The Cassini spacecraft is the first spacecraft studying the Saturnian system of rings and moons from orbit; it entered Saturnian orbit on July 1st, 2004. The Cassini orbiter has 12 instruments. One of them is the Cassini Imaging Science Subsystem (ISS), consisting of two framing cameras. The narrow angle camera is a reflecting telescope with 110° 160° a focal length of 2000 mm and a field of view of 0.35 degrees. The wide angle camera is a refractor Perizadah with a focal length of 200 mm and a field of view of 3.5 degrees. Each camera is equipped with a large number of spectral filters which, taken together, span the electromagnetic spectrum from 0.2 to 1.1 micrometers. At the heart of each camera is a charged coupled device (CCD) detector consisting of a 1024 square array of pixels, each 12 microns on a side.

SPICE is a data system providing ancillary data such as spacecraft and target positions, target body size/shape/orientation, spacecraft orientation, and instrument pointing, which is used for planning space science missions and recovering the full value of science instrument data returned from missions (http://naif.jpl.nasa.gov/). A 3-D control network was set up to correct errors in the nominal camera pointing data. The Rayya network utilized all images in the Cassini ISS CLR (effective wavelength λe = 651 nm), GRN (λe -30° = 569 nm), IR3 (λe = 928 nm), and UV3 (λe = 343 nm) filters with a pixel scale between 50 and -30° 500 m/pixel and a phase angle less than 120°: a total of 586 images. The control network consisted Otbah of 10,362 tie points and 173,704 individual image measures, averaging nearly 17 measures per tie point. Least squares bundle adjustment resulted in a root mean square (rms) residual of 0.45 pixels, corresponding to rms ground point uncertainties of 66 m, 51 m, and 46 m in latitude, longitude, and radius, respectively. The bundle solution yielded independently determined shape information, resulting in radii (a, b, c axis) slight smaller than, but within the stated uncertainty of, IAU values, and a 0.769° shift in the prime meridian offset (W0). Using this geodetic control network, updated pointing kernels for every image were calculated, substantially improving image locations. Additionally, a new global mosaic of Enceladus using the best available data from the mission was created. The longitude system according to Davies and Katayama (1983)4 and adopted by the IAU/IAG (International Astronomical Union/International Association of Geodesy) Working Group on Cartographic Coordinates and Rotational Elements as standard (Archinal et al., 2018)5 is defined by crater Salih at 5° west. -40° -40° MAP PROJECTION Lambert conic conformal projection with two standard parallels at 58°S and 30°S Scale is true at 58°S and 30°S Adopted figure: sphere S U Mean radius: 252.1 km M A K R N L C A I Grid system: planetographic latitude, west longitude NOMENCLATURE M Names are suggested by the ISS-Camera-Team and approved by the International Astronomical A K R A N S U L Union (IAU).
