  • Abstract
    The Cassini Imaging Science Subsystem (ISS) acquired 370 high-resolution images (<500 m/pixel) of Rhea during two close flybys and 9 non-targeted flybys between 2004 and 2010. We combined these images with lower-resolution Cassini images and others taken by the Voyager cameras to produce a high-resolution semi-controlled mosaic of Rhea. This global mosaic is the baseline for a high-resolution Rhea atlas. The nomenclature used in this atlas was proposed by the Cassini imaging team and approved by the International Astronomical Union (IAU). The atlas is available to the public through the Imaging Teamʹs website 〈http://ciclops.org/maps〉 and the Planetary Data System 〈http://pds.jpl.nasa.gov〉. This atlas completes the series of the atlases of the Saturnian medium-sized satellites Mimas, Enceladus, Tethys, Dione, Rhea, and Iapetus.
