Scientific paper

This program will obtain sets of exposures of Saturn in several spectral bands over a time span of about a week. By selecting filters that are sensitive to atmospheric processes (methane absorption and molecular scattering), the dynamic behavior can be mapped at several altitudes within the Saturnian atmosphere. This sequence will utilize time lapse sequences in chip PC-6 to continue monitoring motions associated with the great white spot that was discovered in late September. These observations will allow us to follow the evolution of the storm. Observation is broken up into 2 parts - part 1 = Get as many orbits as possible in a 31 orbit timeframe. Part 2 = Get as many orbits as possible in a 16 orbit timeframe. Use the FGS SAA avoidance contour versus the WF/PC SAA avoidance contour. During orbits with FGS SAA impact, obtain earth flats, using seq FLATn. Take flats in each filter (FLAT1->FLAT6) then go back and take second set in each filter, time permitting.
