The Sun and Earth passed through Saturn's ring plane in 1995 and 1996,
providing a unique opportunity to observe Saturn's faintest rings and
smallest satellites. The edge-on viewing geometry also permited direct
observations of the main rings' thickness, and the timing of satellite eclipses
and mutual events that can be used to improve ephemerides.
The Rings Node has prepared data sets from several of the observations made during the
RPX observing campaign. These are summarized in the following table which also provides links to the data.
Accessing Saturn RPX Data
Note: Only those volumes showing a status of "Archived" have fully completed the PDS peer review process.
Clicking on the VOLUME_ID will take you to the root directory of the volume.
To download an entire volume, right click on that volume's zip link in the
second column.
Browse images for the HST observations can be viewed by following the browse
images link for the respective volumes.
The Rings Node is also archiving other ring plane
crossing data sets from those observers willing to provide them. For more
information please contact us.
