Why are some images missing from the Saturn flyby on the Voyager imaging CD-ROMs?
When the Voyager imaging CD-ROMs were first being produced, it was recognized that the volume of images from the Saturn encounter, if included in total, would take up many more volumes than desired. This would have included a number of poor images (with signal dropouts, etc.). Rather than delay the release of the better images, it was decided to place only the “best” of the images on the discs, resulting in Volumes 4-5 of the Voyager imaging CD-ROM set. Recently it has been decided to go back and put all of the Voyager images from the Saturn encounters on CD-ROM. These will begin with Volume 26 and will last until approximately Volume 35 of the series. These images will supercede those on the earlier volumes. These volumes are expected to begin arriving at NSSDC no earlier than September 1995.
