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.
Saturn LXIV, provisionally known as S/2004 S 34, is a natural satellite of Saturn. Its discovery was announced by Scott S. Sheppard, David C. Jewitt, and Jan Kleyna on October 8, 2019, from observations taken between December 12, 2004, and March 21, 2007. [3] It was given its permanent designation in August 2021. [4]
Saturn IB – nine launches; a refined version of the Saturn I with a more powerful first stage (designated the S-IB) and using the Saturn V's S-IVB as a second stage. These carried the first Apollo flight crew, plus three Skylab and one Apollo-Soyuz crews, into Earth orbit.
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°.
S/2004 S 17 is about 4 kilometres in diameter, and orbits Saturn at an average distance of 19,847,000 kilometres in about 1,044 days, at an inclination of 168.1° to the ecliptic, in a retrograde direction and with an eccentricity of 0.165. [2] [4] This moon was considered lost [5] until its recovery was announced on 12 October 2022. [2]
S/2004 S 39 is a natural satellite of Saturn.Its discovery was announced by Scott S. Sheppard, David C. Jewitt, and Jan Kleyna on October 8, 2019 from observations taken between December 12, 2004 and March 21, 2007.
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 S-IV stage was a large LOX/LH 2-fueled rocket stage used for the early test flights of the Saturn I rocket. It formed the second stage of the Saturn I and was powered by a cluster of six RL-10A-3 engines. Each one of the engines supplied 66.7 kilonewtons (15,000 lb f) of thrust for a total of about 400 kilonewtons (90,000 lb f).
