Scientific paper
The control networks of the major satellites of Jupiter and Saturn have been computed photogrammetrically from pictures taken by the Voyager 1 and 2 spacecraft. The control networks are used in the preparation of maps to position features and to correctly orient the latitude-longitude grid on the compiled mosaics or airbrush renditions of the surface. The mean radii of the satellites are computed in the analytical triangulation and are for the Jovian satellites: Io, 1815 + or - 3 km; Europa, 1569 + or - 8 km; Ganymede, 2631 + or - 8 km; and Calliso, 2400 + or - 8 km. The mean radii of the satellites of Saturn are: Mimas, 197 + or - 3 km; Enceladus, 251 + or - 5 km; Tethys, 524 + or - 5 km; Dione, 559 + or - 5 km; Rhea, 764 + or - 4 km; and Iapetus, 718 + or - 8 km.
