The high resolution instruments on board the Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) provide the necessary data to survey the Martian topographic surface in the finest detail so far [Albee, et al, 2002]. However,…
NASA's Mars Geodesy/Cartography Working Group (MGCWG), established in 1998 and chaired since 2000 by one of us (TCD), consists of leading researchers in planetary geodesy and cartography at such…
We describe our initial experiences producing controlled digital elevation models (DEMs) of Mars with horizontal resolutions of ≤10 m and vertical precisions of ≤2 m. Such models are of intense…
The current Mars Global Survey (MGS) mission has been collecting high resolution digital images (MOC) and laser ranges (MOLA). The processing MOLA range data results in a global digital elevation…
A basic requirement for the planning of future Mars missions are precise and high resolution maps, especially, of the landing site area. We present a new digital orthoimage map of Mars using data…
Though the primary focus at Malin Space Science Systems (MSSS) is on building and operating instruments through the archiving of raw data, we have also pursued research interests in planetary…
The stereo photogrammetric observable equations are presented relating control point image location to camera distortions, camera pointing, spacecraft position, Mars-fixed areocentric control point…
The current global spatial control net of Mars provides the geodetic basis for an orthoimage map composed of image data sets obtained from VIKING missions from 1976 to 1980. This map is not…
In this abstract we report on our initial experiences performing stereotopographic mapping of Mars with high-resolution images from the Mars Global Surveyor Mars Orbiter Camera Narrow-Angle subsystem…
