This global digital map of Saturn's moon Phoebe was created using data taken during the Cassini spacecraft's close flyby of the small moon in June 2004. The map is an equidistant projection and has a scale of 233 meters (764 feet) per pixel.

The mean radius of Phoebe used for projection of this map is 107 kilometers (66 miles). The resolution of the map is 8 pixels per degree.

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 mission for NASA's Science Mission Directorate, Washington, D.C. The Cassini orbiter and its two onboard cameras were designed, developed and assembled at JPL. The imaging operations center is based at the Space Science Institute in Boulder, Colo.
