VOYAGER 1&2 SATURN BRIGHTNESS NORTH/SOUTH MAP SET V1.0

Published by National Aeronautics and Space Administration | National Aeronautics and Space Administration | Metadata Last Checked: July 18, 2025 | Last Modified: 2025-07-17

This data set contains Voyager 1 and 2 measurements of the brightness of Saturn at H Lyman alpha and in the H2 Lyman and Werner bands shortward of H Lyman alpha. Pointing has been corrected by the C-Smithing process, and these data were derived from the pre-encounter North-South Map sequences. In this sequence, the UVS field of view was located near the central meridian of the planet. The field of view stepped slowly from north to south, and then rapidly repositioned to the north. These scans were repeated until all longitudes had been sampled. Coverage in longitude was nearly continuous in time. There were short breaks for observations of satellites.
