The fifth-closest satellite of Saturn, distance 141 810 km, orbital period 0.629 days; also known as Saturn XVII. It was discovered in 1980 on images from Voyager 1, between Saturn’s F and G Rings. Pandora is irregularly shaped, 104 × 81 × 64 km in size. Its lightly cratered surface appears to have a thin cover of dust, softening the outlines of craters and ridges. Pandora is the outer shepherd moon of the F Ring.
