AB: Using our 3D global MHD model we intend to study the periods during which the Hubble Space Telescope recently made images of the Saturn's ionosphere (Jan/Feb 2007). Using upstream solar wind conditions propagated from the Earth to Saturn as input, we have made dynamic simulations of the magnetosphere- ionosphere system and its response to the solar wind. In this paper we will present results of the simulations as well as comparisons to observations made by the HST.
