The Cassini–Huygens mission, which went into orbit around Saturn in 2004, provided still better views, and allowed more in-depth analysis of Helene, including views of the surface under different lighting conditions.
Cassini-Huygens som gick in i omloppsbana runt Saturnus år 2004 fick ännu bättre utsikt och mer djupgående analys av månen (inklusive utsikt över ytan under olika ljusförhållanden).
