Description

The overall objective of this experiment is exploratory reconnaissance of Jupiter, Saturn, their satellites, and Saturn's rings. Such reconnaissance, at resolutions and phase angles unobtainable from Earth, can be expected to provide much new data relevant to the atmospheric and/or surface properties of these bodies. The paper describes specific objectives of the mission and the Voyager Imaging Science Subsystem which is to be used on the flights. (Auth.)
