The Mariner Jupiter/Saturn photopolarimeter experimentObservations of Saturn's rings by the Mariner Jupiter/Saturn photopolarimeter are studied. From these observations attempts were made to: (1) determine the size, shape, albedo, distribution, and orientation of particles in the rings, (2) measure geometric and optical thickness of the rings, and (3) determine the effect of Saturn's satellites on dynamics of ring particles. Special attention was given to stellar and solar occulation measurements, surface brightness photometry, and phase angle dependence of intensity and polarization.
