Aegaeon orbits between Janus and Mimas within Saturn's G Ring. Aegaeon has a 7:6 corotation eccentricity resonance with Mimas. It is a highly elongated shape, measuring 1.4 km x 0.5 km x 0.4 km (0.87 mi x 0.31 mi x 0.25 mi).

Saturn Small Moon Shape Models V1.0

The High Rate Detector (HRD) from the   
        University of Chicago is an independent part of the CDA instrument on 
        the Cassini Orbiter that measures the dust flux and particle mass     
        distribution of dust particles hitting the HRD detectors.  This data  
        set includes all data from the HRD through the end of the mission,    
        Sept. 15, 2017.  Please refer to Srama et al. (2004) for a detailed   
        HRD description.

CASSINI HIGH RATE DETECTOR

Digital shape models have been constructed from Cassini Imaging Science Subsystem
(ISS) data for eleven of the small satellites of Saturn and delivered to the
Planetary Data System. These satellites are: Pan, Daphnis, Atlas, Prometheus,
Pandora, Epimetheus, Janus, Telesto, Calypso, Helene, and Hyperion. These models
typically have uncertainties well under 0.5 km. They are appropriate for global
geometric, geologic, and geophysical studies, and regional slope and topography
study. They are useful in studying morphologies of only the relatively largest-sized
craters. Studies based on early versions of these shape models are in Thomas et al.,
2013

Orbiting the ringed planet Saturn and its numerous moons, the Cassini spacecraft was a keystone of exploration of the Saturnian system and the properties of gaseous planets in our solar system. 
A joint endeavor of NASA, the European Space Agency, or ESA, and the Italian Space Agency, Cassini launched in 1997 along with ESA's Huygens probe. The spacecraft contributed to studies of Jupiter for six months in 2000 before reaching its destination, Saturn, in 2004 and starting a string of flybys of Saturn's moons. That same year it released the Huygens probe on Saturn's moon Titan to conduct a study of the moon's atmosphere and surface composition. In its second extended mission, Cassini made the first observations of a complete seasonal period for Saturn and its moons, flew between the rings and descended into the planet's atmosphere.
