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[edit]

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.
