The Cassini-Huygens mission is a cooperative project of NASA, the European Space Agency and the Italian Space Agency. The Jet Propulsion Laboratory, a division of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, manages the Cassini-Huygens mission for NASA's Science Mission Directorate, Washington. The Cassini orbiter and its two onboard cameras were designed, developed and assembled at JPL. The imaging team is based at the Space Science Institute, Boulder, Colo.

The propeller moonlets represent a hitherto unseen size-class of particles orbiting within the rings. This image provides broad context within the rings, and shows the B ring, Cassini Division, A ring and F ring. The browse view provides more views of the the propeller-shaped features.
