Second release of the high-resolution Mimas atlas derived from Cassini-ISS images

Kurzfassung

The first version of the high-resolution Mimas atlas was released in 2008 [1]. The Cassini Imaging Science Sub-system (ISS) acquired more high-resolution images (< 300 m/pixel) during one close flyby of Mimas in 2010. We combined these images with the lower-resolution coverage taken between 2005 and 2008 to improve the high-resolution global mosaic of Mimas, the resolution was improved from 432 m/pixel to 216 m/pixel. This new global mosaic is the baseline for the second release of the high-resolution Mimas atlas that uses now the subdivision of the synoptic format for making planetwide maps with four quadrangles on three sheets, the scale of these sheets is now 1:1,000,000. The new release of the atlas is available to the public through CICLOPS (http://ciclops.org) and PDS (http://pds.jpl.nasa.gov).
