	Pandora (moon) - MSN Encarta
		Pandora (pronounced /pænˈdɔərə/ pan-DOR-ə, Greek Πανδώρα) is an inner satellite of Saturn.
		Pandora’s orbit is circular and parallels Saturn’s equator.
		The gravitational tug of Pandora and the nearby moon Prometheus might also be responsible for the F ring’s braided and kinked appearance.

	Pandora
		One of the inner moons of Saturn and the outer shepherd moon for the F-ring.
		Pandora is heavily cratered and, as revealed by the Cassini probe during its passage of the moon at a distance of 52,000 km on Sep. 5, 2005, there are small grooves and ridges in the dust-fine icy material that has collected over the craters.
		Pandora and Prometheus, the inner shepherd of the F-ring, both follow chaotic orbits as a result of their gravitational interaction.

		The little moon is heavily cratered and is thought to be largely composed of water ice.
		Pandora was brightened by a factor of seven to aid visibility.
		All four of the moons seen here were on the far side of the rings from the spacecraft when this image was taken; and about an hour later, all four had disappeared behind Saturn.

		The image was taken in visible light with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera on May 4, 2005, at a distance of approximately 967,000 kilometres from Pandora and at a Sun-Pandora-spacecraft, or phase, angle of 117 degrees.
		At least one crater is visible on the surface of this moon, which is thought to be an icy rubble pile, loosely bound together by gravity.

	Saturn's Moon Pandora - Explore the Cosmos \| The Planetary Society
		Pandora is a tiny moon that orbits just outside Saturn's F ring.
		Along with Prometheus, the F ring's inner shepherd, Pandora is probably responsible for maintaining the edges of the F ring and keeping the gaps on either side of the F ring clear.
		The moon passes closest to the ring at "apoapse", when it is farthest from Saturn.

	APOD: 2005 November 23 - Pandora: A Shepherd Moon of Saturn
		Craters on Pandora appear to be covered over by some sort of material, providing a more smooth appearance than sponge-like Hyperion, another small moon of Saturn.
		Curious grooves and ridges also appear to cross the surface of the small moon.
		Pandora is partly interesting because, along with its companion moon Prometheus, it helps shepherd the particles of Saturn's F ring into a distinct ring.

	Cassini lets Pandora’s secret out of the box - cassini-huygens - 18 November 2005 - New Scientist Space
		Cassini made its closest approach ever to the diminutive moon on 5 September 2005, sweeping by at a distance of 52,000 kilometres.
		Discovered in 1980 by the Voyager 1 spacecraft, the moon is only 84 kilometres in diameter, and its two largest craters each measure about 30 kilometres.
		Because of their role in maintaining Saturn's F ring, Pandora and Prometheus are both known as shepherd moons.

	CASSINI FINDS NEW SATURN MOON THAT MAKES WAVES (Cassini Press Release)
		The moon, provisionally named S/2005 S1, was first seen in a time-lapse sequence of images taken on May 1, 2005, as Cassini began its climb to higher inclinations in orbit around Saturn.
		The images show the tiny object in the center of the Keeler gap and the wavy patterns in the gap edges that are generated by the moon’s gravitational influence.
		The similarities of the Keeler gap features to those noted in Saturn’s F ring and the Encke gap led imaging scientists to conclude that a small body, a few kilometers across, was lurking in the center of the Keeler gap, awaiting discovery.

		A shepherd moon for Saturn’s F ring, Pandora is a small satellite covered in craters that appear to be covered by debris.
		The moon’s small ridges and grooves, which reach up to 52 miles (84 kilometers) across, suggests that the fractures affect its smooth surface material.
		Resolution in the original image was 1,000 feet (300 meters) per pixel, though the image has been magnified by a factor of two to aid visibility.

		Pandora use their gravitational attraction to define Saturn's outermost ring.
		Were any of the smaller chunks of ice and rock that compose Saturn's F Ring to stray, the ring particle would be gravitationally pulled back into place by one of these passing moons.

		Caption: This is one of Cassini's closest views to date of the F ring shepherd moon Pandora (84 kilometers, 52 miles across).
		In this view, Cassini is looking at Pandora's anti-Saturn side, and toward the leading hemisphere (although, as mentioned, Pandora is not actually round).
		The image was taken in visible light with the narrow angle camera on May 20, 2005 from a distance of approximately 346,000 kilometers (215,000 miles) from Pandora and at a Sun-Pandora-spacecraft, or phase, angle of 21 degrees.
