ISPRS WG IV/5: Extraterrestrial Mapping Workshop
on "Mapping of Mars"

Thursday April 16 - Friday April 17, 1998 (just prior to EGS98 meeting in Nice)
University College London, Garwood Lecture Theatre, London, UK
In collaboration with the UCL Planet Centre

Included a tutorial on "SPICE for planetary mapping"
given by Dr Chuck Acton of JPL

Introduction

Interest in Mars was given an enormous impetus through the successes of the Mars Pathfinder and Mars Global Surveyor missions. Critical to the success of any understanding of Martian surface processes and atmospheric-surface dust transports are a comprehensive and accurate knowledge of the topography of Mars. The aims of this workshop were to review what we had learnt from previous Mars missions and to highlight the new results and new mapping techniques which were developed for Mars Pathfinder and MGS.

Fundamental to the success of any planetary mapping mission is the standardisation of spacecraft ephemeris, sensor and planetary elements. The SPICE system developed by Dr Chuck Acton and colleagues at JPL offers such a set of standard metadata as well as software for their manipulation. Dr Acton presented a tutorial on SPICE at this workshop, including its recent use in the MGS mission.
