Controlled Mosaic of Enceladus Shahrazad Se 400K 43.5/225 CMN, 2018 GENERAL NOTES 66° 270° West This map sheet is the 4th of a 15-quadrangle series covering the entire surface of Enceladus at a 66° nominal scale of 1: 400 000. This map series is the third version of the Enceladus atlas and 1 180° West supersedes the release from 2010 . The source of map data was the Cassini imaging experiment (Porco et al., 2004)2. Cassini-Huygens is a joint NASA/ESA/ASI mission to explore the Saturnian 260° system. The Cassini spacecraft is the first spacecraft studying the Saturnian system of rings and 190° 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 250° (ISS), consisting of two framing cameras. The narrow angle camera is a reflecting telescope with 200° a focal length of 2000 mm and a field of view of 0.35 degrees. The wide angle camera is a refractor with a focal length of 200 mm and a field of view of 3.5 degrees. Each camera is equipped with a 240° 210° large number of spectral filters which, taken together, span the electromagnetic spectrum from 0.2 60° 230° 220° to 1.1 micrometers. At the heart of each camera is a charged coupled device (CCD) detector 60° 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 Al-Haddar 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 Dalilah 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 network utilized all images in the Cassini ISS CLR (effective wavelength λe = 651 nm), GRN (λe Shahrazad = 569 nm), IR3 (λe = 928 nm), and UV3 (λe = 343 nm) filters with a pixel scale between 50 and 500 m/pixel and a phase angle less than 120°: a total of 586 images. The control network consisted of 10,362 tie points and 173,704 individual image measures, averaging nearly 17 measures per 40° tie point. Least squares bundle adjustment resulted in a root mean square (rms) residual of 0.45 Ishak 40° 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, Dunyazad 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.
