Abstract:
The study addresses the problem of constructing a structural model of Saturn's moon Enceladus. The model was developed based on optical observations from the Cassini-Huygens space mission, employing spherical function expansion and harmonic analysis. Analysis of the 3D model of the moon revealed the presence of three distinct surface types and, when considered alongside other observable geochemical processes, confirmed that this celestial body was formed recently on a cosmic timescale.
