It orbits near the inward side of the F ring. Its gravitational influence helps to stabilise the ring. This type of moon is called shepherd moon.</p><ul><li><strong>Type:</strong> Satellite.&nbsp;</li><li><strong>Orbit:</strong> Saturn.&nbsp;</li><li><strong>Orbital period:</strong> 14 h 42 min 42 s.&nbsp;</li><li><strong>Composition:</strong> Icy body, mostly water ice, rubble pile.&nbsp;</li><li><strong>Density:</strong> 0.48 g/cm3.&nbsp;</li><li><strong>Dimensions:</strong> 135.6 km × 79.4 km × 59.4 km.&nbsp;</li><li><strong>Model scale:</strong> 1:1x106 (13cm) 1:2x106 (7cm)</li></ul><h4>S17 Pandora</h4><p>Pandora was though to be a shepherd moon similar to Prometheus, because it orbits on the outer side of the F ring of Saturn, but it is not so close to make a noticeable interaction with it.</p><ul><li><strong>Type:</strong> Satellite&nbsp;</li><li><strong>Orbit:</strong> Saturn.&nbsp;</li><li><strong>Orbital period:</strong> 15 h 5 min 7 s.&nbsp;</li><li><strong>Composition:</strong> Icy body, mostly water ice, rubble pile.&nbsp;</li><li><strong>Density:</strong> 0.48 g/cm3.&nbsp;</li><li><strong>Dimensions:</strong> 104 km × 81 km × 64 km.&nbsp;</li><li><strong>Model scale:</strong> 1:1x106 (10cm) 1:2x106 (5cm)</li></ul><h4>References</h4><ul><li><a href="https://sbn.psi.edu/pds/resource/saturnsatshapes.html">"Thomas, P., Joseph, J., and Ansty, T., Saturn Small Moon Shape Models V1.0. urn:nasa:pds:saturn_satellite_shape_models::1.0.
