Scientific paper

High resolution radio observations of Saturn obtained with the VLA at different wavelengths and different viewing aspects of the ring plane are discussed. Deficiencies of ground based observations in general and interferometric (VLA) observations in particular are emphasized. Two major problems are identified: the uncertainties of the absolute flux calibration, and the relatively low dynamic range obtained in ground-based planetary maps. Observations from space with a much smaller telescope (1 m) in orbit around Saturn can alleviate these problems and aid studies of Saturn's atmosphere and rings.
