S/2004 S 43 is about 4 kilometers in diameter, and orbits Saturn at a distance of 18.918 Gm in 971.48 days, at an inclination of 172.0, orbits in retrograde direction and eccentricity of 0.390. [2] S/2004 S 43 belongs to the Norse group and was marked the 100th moon of Saturn by count at the time it was announced.
C-1 – Saturn lower stage, proposed S-IV second stage (similar to the actual Saturn I). C-2 – Saturn lower stage, proposed S-II second stage, proposed S-IV third stage. C-3 , C-4 , and C-5 – all based on different variations of a new lower stage using F-1 engines, variations of proposed S-II second stages, and proposed S-IV third stages ...
The version 1 (top) and the version 2 (bottom) of the Instrument Unit. Saturn I Block I vehicles (SA-1 to SA-4) were guided by instruments carried in canisters on top of the S-I first stage, and included the ST-90 stabilized platform, made by Ford Instrument Company and used in the Redstone missile.

S/2004 S 31 is about 4 kilometres in diameter, and orbits Saturn at an average distance of 17.568 Gm in 869.65 days, at an inclination of 48.8° to the ecliptic, with an eccentricity of 0.240. [3] The satellite is affected by the Kozai mechanism, and is noted to be the first known moon whose argument of periapsis oscillates around 270°. [4]
View of Saturn from Cassini, taken in March 2004, shortly before the spacecraft's orbital insertion in July 2004. This article provides a timeline of the Cassini–Huygens mission (commonly called Cassini). Cassini was a collaboration between the United States' NASA, the European Space Agency ("ESA"), and the Italian Space Agency ("ASI") to send a probe to study the Saturnian system, including ...
The average distance between Saturn and the Sun is over 1.4 billion kilometers (9 AU). With an average orbital speed of 9.68 km/s, [6] it takes Saturn 10,759 Earth days (or about 29 + 1 ⁄ 2 years) [86] to finish one revolution around the Sun. [6] As a consequence, it forms a near 5:2 mean-motion resonance with Jupiter. [87]
