Pan is the innermost [[Natural satellite|moon]] of [[Saturn]]. It orbits inside of the [[w:Rings of Saturn#Encke Gap|Encke Gap]] in Saturn's [[w:Rings of Saturn#A Ring]] acting as a shepherd keeping the Encke Gap clear. Pan was imaged by [[w:Voyager 2|Voyager 2]] during its flyby of Saturn in 1981. Pan was predicted by Jeffrey N Cuzzi and Jeffrey D Scargle in 1985 based on the characteristics of the gap, then was found in a number of images.

== Pan in Orbiter ==
Pan was introduced to Orbiter with the release of ''isaturn.zip'' in 2002.
