Image Title:Highest Resolution mosaic of Io Catalog #:PIA01663 Target Name:Io Is a satellite of:Jupiter Mission:Galileo Spacecraft:Galileo Orbiter Instrument:Solid State Imaging Product Size:1152 samples x 614 lines Produced By:PIRL / University of Arizona Producer ID:MRPS94209 Creation Date:1999-01-18 Primary Data Set:Galileo EDRs Full-Res TIFF:PIA01663.tif (242 kbytes) Original Caption Released with Image: This global mosaic shows the highest resolution Galileo images availableof Jupiter's moon, Io. North is to the top of the picture. The images,obtained at low sun illumination angles (high sun-target-spacecraft angles)which emphasize topographic shadows, were taken by the Solid State Imaging(SSI) system on NASA's Galileo spacecraft over the course of several orbits.The grid identifies the names and locations of several of Io's main features.Several active but as yet unnamed volcanic features are indicated by arrows.While volcanic centers are rather evenly distributed, almost all of the activeplumes and long-lived hot spots seen over the span of NASA's Galileo missionat Jupiter or during the flyby's of NASA's Voyager spacecraft in 1979are within 30 degrees of the equator. The Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, CA manages the Galileo missionfor NASA's Office of Space Science, Washington, DC.
