Iapetus Voyager Airbrush Global Mosaic 783m
This image mosaic is one of several products created as the first step of cartography planning in support of the Cassini-Huygens Mission to Saturn & Titan. The data included in these mosaics were collected by both Voyager I and Voyager II missions. The Cassini spacecraft is targeting these moons and others during the mission.
