<h2> Cassini and Saturn's moons ephemeris at AMDA </h2>
<br/>
<br/> <UL>
  <li> Cassini/Titan/Enceladus Ephemeris are calculated by <b>Joseph Groene</b>
  of University of Iowa based on CASSINI SPICE kernels. 
  All data are taken from <a href="http://www-pw.physics.uiowa.edu/~jbg/cas.html" TARGET=_BLANK>Joseph Groene site</a>
 
   <li> Ephemeris are presented in geographic Saturn barycentric coordinates
        and include 
        <UL>
           <li> <b>Western Longitude_IAU,</b><br/>
                based on the Voyager determination of the period of Saturn kilometric radiation
               (SKR).<br/>
