37. We acknowledge the individuals at CICLOPS and across the Imaging Team who helped in planning and designing the Phoebe and lapetus sequences and in keeping the imaging operations running smoothly. This paper is dedicated to the memory of Damon Simonelli, who developed much of the pre-Cassini understanding of Phoebe's surface.
