The RAND-USGS control network of Mars is a combination of the RAND control network and the USGS network.

There are many similarities between the Mars Surveyor '01 (MS '01) landing site selection process and that of Mars Pathfinder. The selection process includes two parallel activities in which…

More than ever before the planet Mars is subject to exploration and mapping activities. Since 1992 the Technical University of Berlin was involved in the software development for photogrammetric and…

In this abstract we preview the acquisition of stereo image data and resultant cartographic products and rover localization studies associated with the Athena Precursor Experiment (APEX) on the 2001…

We re-analyzed the Viking Mars control point network, an effort, which resulted in accurate pointing data for a list of 1138 Viking Orbiter images. From these images, which have resolutions between…

We present a new global map of Mars based on images taken by the Viking Orbiters. Precise image position information and camera pointing data, needed to produce this map, were derived from a recent…

On 4 July 1997, the Pathfinder spacecraft landed on Mars near the mouth of the outflow channel Ares Vallis, located in the southern part of Chryse Planitia. Between July 4 and September 27, 1997, the…

Super resolution of the horizon at both Viking landing sites has revealed “new” features we use for triangulation, similar to the approach used during the Mars Pathfinder Mission. We propose…

We are producing a webbased, user-friendly interface built on a powerful Geographic Information System (GIS), that will integrate statistical and spatial relational tools for analyses of planetary…

To assist in landing site selection, we are compiling a suite of stereo images of potential landing sites for the 1998 and 2001 Mars landers. From these, we are using automated stereogrammetry…
