Rhea is the ninth-largest moon in the Solar System and the second-largest moon of Saturn. Rhea was discovered by Giovanni Domenico Cassini on 23 December 1672 about the same time he discovered Dione, Iapetus, and Tethys, but the name Rhea referred to by John Herschel stuck.

Rhea in Orbiter

Rhea was first introduced in Orbiter with the release of Orbiter 2002 in April 2002.
