Voyager 1 Imaging Science Subsystem - Narrow Angle

    Description

    The photographic experiment used a two-camera system, based on the Mariner 10 system. This system included one narrow-angle, long-focal-length camera and one wide-angle, short-focal-length camera. At Jupiter and Saturn, the resolution was better than 20 km and 5 km, respectively. The objectives of the experiment were to photograph global motions and cloud distributions on Jupiter and Saturn, gross dynamical properties, zonal rotation, orientation of spin axis, zonal shear, vertical shear, flow instabilities, spots, and spectrum of scale of atmospheric motions in time and space. Additional objectives included the study of the mode of release of internal energy flux (search for convection cells and rolls), study of growth, dissipation, morpho... ...Show More
