Rhea was imaged to a resolution of approximately 1 km/lp by the Voyager spacecraft, providing the most detailed view of any Saturnian satellite. A preliminary study of Rhea divided the northern hemisphere into population 1 cratered terrain (between 20 deg and 120 deg) and population 2 cratered terrain (between 300 deg and 360 deg). Population 1 includes craters that are 40 km and were formed before the termination of population 2 bombardment, which formed craters primarily 40 km. Several geomorphic features on Rhea are classified and interpreted including three physiographic provinces, multiringed basins, craters, megascarps, ridges and scarps, and troughs and coalescing pit chains. A generalized chronology for Rhea is constructed from an analysis of the superposition relationships among the landforms and physiographic provinces.
