Product Information: Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera (LROC) Wide Angle Camera (WAC) aboard the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) has allowed the instrument team to create a global mosaic…
In 2019, NASA's OSIRIS-REx (Origins, Spectral Interpretation, Resource Identification, and Security – Regolith Explorer) mission globally surveyed asteroid (101955) Bennu with a collection of…
This publication provides a geological map of Lada Terra quadrangle (V56), a portion of the southern hemisphere of Venus that extends from lat 50° S. to 70° S. and from long 0° E. to 60° E. V56…
The Snegurochka Planitia region is a predominantly low-lying terrain that covers the north polar region of Venus, extending from lat 75° N. to 90° N. and from long 0° E. to 360° E. The plains…
The Hecate Chasma quadrangle (V-28) extends from lat 0° to 25° N. and from long 240° E. to 270° E. The quadrangle was mapped at 1:5,000,000 scale as part of the National Aeronautics and Space…
The Themis Regio quadrangle (V-53), Venus, has been geologically mapped at 1:5,000,000 scale as part of the NASA Planetary Geologic Mapping Program. The quadrangle extends from lat 25° to 50° S.…
The Ganiki Planitia (V-14) quadrangle on Venus, which extends from 25° N. to 50° N. and from 180° E. to 210° E., derives its name from the extensive suite of plains that dominates the geology of…
The Metis Mons quadrangle (V6) in the northern hemisphere of Venus (lat 50° to 75° N., long 240° to 300° E.) includes a variety of coronae, large volcanoes, ridge and fracture (structure) belts,…
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…
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…
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…
On such a volcanically active world as Io, topography is especially important for understanding lava emplacement, mountain formation, internal dynamics, and volcanic history. Previously we have…
The existing DBs are not enough universal from planetary cartography point of view . It is useful to develop a Solar System bodies DB with a map-oriented data access. Our Planetary Cartography…
Topographic mapping of icy satellites is a critical tool for evaluation of geologic problems ranging from the origin of ionian mountains to the thickness of floating ice shells. With the lack of…
The Cassini spacecraft will begin its tour through the Saturnian system in July 2004. One major goal of the imaging instrument aboard Cassini is to complete the global coverage of the icy Saturnian…
We describe a series of programs and scripts under development for the USGS digital cartography and image processing software system ISIS that will make it possible for users to create digital…
The Mars Express mission, which is expected to be launched in May/June 2003, will bring the "High Resolution Stereo Camera" (HRSC) into an orbit around the planet Mars. This research program, which…
