Telesto is a small satellite of Saturn. Telesto moves in an almost circular orbit of radius 294,660 km in a period of 1.888 days. Two other Saturnian satellites, Tethys and Calypso, have very similar orbits. Telesto is not spherical but rather ellipsoidal, with a mean diameter of 30 km.

Trojan satellites are small bodies orbiting in the vicinity of the triangular Lagrangian points of a planet- satellite system. Three such satellites have been discovered by the Voyager probes in the Saturnian system: two (Telesto, Calypso) orbiting 60 degrees behind and ahead of Tethys and one (Helene) 60 degrees ahead of Dione. All these bodies have nearly circular orbits in the plane of Saturn's equator. They are around 10 km in diameter and are probably icy fragments.

The Calypso was a French Schneider-Laubeuf type Sirene Class submarine of 552 tons displacement surfaced launched in 1926. The Calypso was powered by two sets of 2-cycle Schneider-Carels diesel engines providing a top speed of 14 knots surfaced and electric motors providing a top speed of 7.5 knots submerged and a range of 3200 km at 10 knots on the surface, and carried a complement of 40. She could dive to a depth of 45 fathoms. Armaments consisted of one 3-inch anti-aircraft gun; two machine-guns and seven 21.7 inch torpedo tubes.
