Data Set Overview
=================
This shape model of Mimas is based on 771 Cassini Imaging Science
Subsystem narrow angle camera (ISSNA) images taken in 2005-2011, 9 Cassini
Imaging Science Subsystem wide angle camera (ISSWA) images taken in 2010,
and 17 Voyager 1 Imaging Science Subsystem Narrow (ISSN) camera images
taken in 1980.
Coordinate system:
BODY601_POLE_RA = ( 40.66 -0.036 0. )
BODY601_POLE_DEC = ( +83.52 -0.004 0. )
BODY601_PM = ( 337.46 +381.9945550 0. )
BODY601_LONG_AXIS = ( 0. )
BODY601_NUT_PREC_RA = ( 0. 0. +13.56 0. 0. 0. 0. 0. 0. )
BODY601_NUT_PREC_DEC = ( 0. 0. -1.53 0. 0. 0. 0. 0. 0. )
BODY601_NUT_PREC_PM = ( 0. 0. -13.48 0. -44.85 0. 0. 0. 0. )
(For help in interpreting the values of the SPICE assignments above, see
the document 'PCK Required Reading' (PCK.REQ), available at NAIF and in
the document directory of this data set.)
The parameters of the model are as follows:
Number of landmarks = 684
RMS position uncertainty = 144 m/dof (degree of freedom)
Pointing uncertainty: .059 mrad
Pointing residual: .259 mrad
Number of observations: 86262
Observations per landmark: 126.1
RMS landmark location residual: 246 m/dof
The models were originally prepared in the Implicitly Connected
Quadrilateral (ICQ) format. Vertex-facet format versions, derived from
the ICQ versions, are also provided. The filenames are
mimas_quad512q.tab and mimas_ver512q.tab, where 512 is the value of Q (an
indicator of the resolution). See below for the full definition of Q and
the ICQ format. For additional information about the shape models, see
Gaskell et al. (2008).
The file 'mimasimagelist.tab' is a list of the Cassini ISSNA and ISSWA and
Voyager 1 ISSN images used to generate this model. These images are
archived in PDS under the data set IDs CO-S-ISSNA/ISSWA-2-EDR-V1.0
(Cassini) and VG1/VG2-S-ISS-2-EDR-V2.0 (Voyager 1).
A text file, 'icqmodel.asc' is provided in the 'document' directory which
describes the ICQ format and the derivation of the vertex-facet versions.
Modification History
====================
Version 1.0 of this model was archived in 2011. The model was updated
with the inclusion of additional images, and archived as V2.0 in 2013.
