Ceres Dawn FC HAMO Hillshade 60ppd (137mp) Oct. 2016

This is a grayscale hillshade of the original Ceres digital terrain model (DTM). This DTM was created from the Dawn High Altitude Mapping orbit (HAMO) Framing Camera 2 (FC2) images and derived by using the stereo photogrammetry (SPG) method. The HAMO DTM covers approximately 98% of Ceres surface (few permanently shadowed areas near the poles required interpolation). The a DTM has a lateral spacing of ~136.7 m/pixel (60 pixel/degree) and a vertical accuracy of about 10 m. A global DTM is provided in an equidistant cylindrical projection and hemispheric DTMs are provided for both polar regions as stereographic projections.

General

Purpose: Dawn mission is equipped with two identical framing cameras (FC1 & FC2) which have one clear filter and seven band pass filters. At Ceres, only the FC2 was used to acquire science images while the FC1 was held in reserve. Clear filter images which were taken during HAMO were used to produce a global DTM of the illuminated part of Ceres [Preusker 2016]. Dawn orbited Ceres during in 6 cycles between August 16 and October 23, 2015 at the HAMO altitude of ~1475 km. A cycle is a single complete mapping of surface at a fixed attitude (nadir or off-nadir). The framing camera acquired about 2350 clear filter images [Preusker 2016] during the HAMO phase. The images were taken with different viewing angles and similar illumination conditions by slewing the spacecraft to various off-nadir attitudes.

Process Description

All processing was completed using Geospatial Data Abstraction Library (GDAL) tools on the original LROC DEM. To derive this colorized shaded-relief this GDAL commands was used:

(1) gdaldem hillshade input_dem output_hillshade -z 2 (ZFactor) -az 315 (Azimuth) -alt 45 (Altitude)

Entity and Attribute Overview
