Official website of the Cassini Imaging Team and the Cassini Imaging Central Laboratory for Operations (CICLOPS), the center of uplink and downlink imaging science operations and where Saturn system images were collected, processed, archived, and posted for the scientific community and the public during Cassini's 20 years in flight. The Imaging Team leader, Carolyn Porco, was the Director of CICLOPS.
