This icy, irregularly shaped moon is fourth in distance from Saturn. It is the outer shepherding moon for the F ring. This means that its gravitational effects limit the extent of the ring. Prometheus performs this function on the inner edge of the F ring.
Very little is known about Pandora except that it is heavily cratered. It was discovered from imagery from Voyager 1.
