Scientific paper

Control networks of the Saturnian satellites Tethys and Dione have been established photogrammetrically from pictures taken by the two Voyager spacecraft during their flybys. Coordinates of 110 points on Tethys and 126 points on Dione are listed; selected points are identified on U.S. Geological Survey maps of the satellites, and many are identified by name. Measurements of these points were made on six pictures from Voyager 1 and 21 from Voyager 2 for Tethys, and on 27 pictures from Voyager 1 and one from Voyager 2 for Dione. The longitude systems on the satellites have been defined by craters on their surfaces. The mean radii have been determined as 524 + or - 5 km for Tethys and 559 + or - 5 km for Dione.
