High Above Saturn
This portrait looking down on Saturn and its rings was created from images
obtained by NASA's Cassini spacecraft on Oct. 10, 2013. It was made by amateur
image processor and Cassini fan Gordan Ugarkovic. This image has not been
geometrically corrected for shifts in the spacecraft perspective and still has
some camera artifacts.The mosaic was created from 12 image footprints with red,
blue and green filters from Cassini's imaging science subsystem. Ugarkovic used
full color sets for 11 of the footprints and red and blue images for one
footprint.
The Cassini-Huygens mission is a cooperative project of NASA, the European
Space Agency and the Italian Space Agency. The Jet Propulsion Laboratory, a
division of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, manages the
mission for NASA's Science Mission Directorate, Washington, D.C. The Cassini
orbiter and its two onboard cameras were designed, developed and assembled at
JPL. The imaging operations center is based at the Space Science Institute in
Boulder, Colo.
