Cassini
Titan Flyby (T-57) - June 22, 2009
T-57: The Journey to Parts Unknown Continues
RADAR and INMS again share prime opportunities near closest approach.
The RADAR synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imager observation runs
parallel to observatons in the T-55 and T-56 flybys in the southern
hemisphere mapping sequence. Earlier, RSS observes an occultation on
the
inbound leg. T-57 is another flank-out, post-dusk flyby, with a
minimum
altitude of about 955 kilometers.
As in T-55 and T-56 flybys, magnetometer measurements will provide a
description of the draping and the pileup of the external magnetic
field
around Titan on the nightside hemisphere.
