Saturn Small Moon Shape Models V1.0
Digital shape models have been constructed from Cassini Imaging Science Subsystem
(ISS) data for eleven of the small satellites of Saturn and delivered to the
Planetary Data System. These satellites are: Pan, Daphnis, Atlas, Prometheus,
Pandora, Epimetheus, Janus, Telesto, Calypso, Helene, and Hyperion. These models
typically have uncertainties well under 0.5 km. They are appropriate for global
geometric, geologic, and geophysical studies, and regional slope and topography
study. They are useful in studying morphologies of only the relatively largest-sized
craters. Studies based on early versions of these shape models are in Thomas et al.,
