NAME IMAGING SCIENCE SUBSYSTEM - WIDE ANGLE
TYPE IMAGER
DESCRIPTION The Cassini ISS consists of two fixed focal length telescopes, a narrow angle camera (NAC) and a wide angle camera (WAC). Unlike the NAC, the WAC is not thermally isolated from the RSP. It has less stringent image quality requirements, so its bulk temperature control is provided by the pallet.
