Scientific paper

The Cassini TA flyby with Titan on 26 October 2004 has a closest approach altitude of 1200km, and features several RADAR observations. Shortly before closest approach, the Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) mapping mode of the instrument will be used to image a small region (~0.5%) of the surface at around 40o N latitude with a planned resolution of between 0.4 and 2km. Additional observations outbound from Titan include a short altimetry swath, additional scatterometry, and a low-resolution full-disk passive radiometry map. We will present the available results from the initial analysis of the active measurements of this first Titan encounter.
