These models were rendered using MATLAB R2016a on the ICQ models of the PSI made from the data of the Cassini mission.
The file's names explained: name_1_x_10_y.stl is 1 : x* 10^y. So _1_6_10_7 is 1:600000000 or one in 60 million.
S16 Prometheus
Prometheus is a small inner Saturn moon. It orbits near the inward side of the F ring. Its gravitational influence helps to stabilise the ring. This type of moon is called shepherd moon.
- Type: Satellite.
- Orbit: Saturn.
- Orbital period: 14 h 42 min 42 s.
- Composition: Icy body, mostly water ice, rubble pile.
- Density: 0.48 g/cm3.
- Dimensions: 135.6 km × 79.4 km × 59.4 km.
- Model scale: 1:1x106 (13cm) 1:2x106 (7cm)
S17 Pandora
Pandora was though to be a shepherd moon similar to Prometheus, because it orbits on the outer side of the F ring of Saturn, but it is not so close to make a noticeable interaction with it.
- Type: Satellite
- Orbit: Saturn.
- Orbital period: 15 h 5 min 7 s.
- Composition: Icy body, mostly water ice, rubble pile.
- Density: 0.48 g/cm3.
- Dimensions: 104 km × 81 km × 64 km.
- Model scale: 1:1x106 (10cm) 1:2x106 (5cm)
