Nederlands: Pandora maan van Saturnus Augustus 1981 voyager 2
English: Original caption: Detail of Voyager 2 image showing Saturn's moon Pandora, taken 6 hours before Voyager's closest approach to Saturn. Pandora is irregularly shaped, 110 x 90 x 60 km, and bright, with visible albedo of 0.9. The satellite orbits with a semi-major axis of 142,000 km and acts as the outer shepherding satellite (Prometheus is the inner) of Saturn's F-ring. North is approximately up and Pandora is about 70 km across in the image. (Voyager 2, FDS 43998.15)
This image of Pandora was acquired by the Voyager 2 spacecraft on August 25, 1981. Pandora is the fourth of Saturn's known satellites. It was discovered from photographs taken by Voyager during its encounter with Saturn by S. Collins and others. Pandora is the outer shepherd satellite for Saturn's F-ring. It has a diameter of about 114 by 84 by 62 kilometers (71 by 52 by 38 miles) and appears to be very heavily cratered. The two largest craters are about 30 kilometers (19 miles) in diameter. No linear valleys or ridges are visible. Very limited data is available to analyze Pandora.
