Atlas (Saturn XV, S/1980 S 28) is an inner moon of Saturn. It was discovered by Richard Terrile in images taken by Voyager 1 images in 1980. Atlas is located near the inner edge of Saturn's A ring, and experiences perturbations by Prometheus and Pandora.

Atlas in Orbiter

Atlas joined Orbiter in October 2002 with the release of isaturn.zip. It is too small to have significant gravity, so vessels landed may tend to drift off the surface.
