Today I got finished processing three additional mosaics from
Voyager 1 images. The first two use narrow-angle camera images
acquired shortly before the encounter, and the other uses wide-
angle camera images during the spacecraft's closest approach to
Io on March 5, 1979. The first mosaic uses images acquired as
support imaging for the Photopolarimeter Subsystem on Voyager.
The PPS acquired a north-south scan across the center of the
disk to measure information about Io's surface texture and bond
albedo. Click here to see the ISS-NA mosaic at full-resolution.
This mosaic runs from Acala Fluctus, across the flows that
radiate out from Ra Patera, Kava Patera, and ends on the
northern flanks of Euboea Montes. This mosaic cross high-sun
terrain, so albedo markings are emphasized over topographic
shading, though some mountainous features, such as Iopolis
Planum and Euboea Montes, both in the bottom frame, can be seen.
This mosaic has a resolution of 610 meters per pixel. The second
mosaic uses images that were par
