Orbital parameter values determined from Voyager 1 imaging data for the small Saturn satellites 1980S1, 1980S3, 1980S6, 1980S26, 1980S27, and 1980S28 are presented. The dynamic model used for all satellites is a Keplerian ellipse, whose apse and node precess under the influence of the central-body harmonics. In evaluating eccentricity and inclination, it was found that the largest source of error is the difficulty of making measurements when satellites are at, or approaching, transit.
