Viking Orbiters 1 and 2 collectively returned more than 46,000 images of Mars between 1976 and 1980. Numerous observation sequences with different objectives resulted in an extremely complex and…

In the late 1980s, the USGS, Flagstaff, produced the first in what would become a series of very large, global digital image mosaics of solar system bodies. This Mars mosaicked digital image model…

At the development of a mathematical basis of cartographic products the problems of selection of a reference-surface system, system of coordinates, and also selection and elaboration of cartographic…

Described the exciting results which have been obtained from the initial set of mainly Northern hemispheric laser altimetry tracks from the MOLA instrument known as the SPO-1 phase. More recently has…

The map sheet "MARS 1:2,000,000 Mouth of Ares and Tiu Valles" presents the mapped area on the planet's northern hemisphere in two different cartographic categories. The Image Map, portraying the…

The RAND control network of Mars was begun during the Mariner 9 mission, and it has been expanded and improved since then. The network is based on measurements of points made on images taken by the…

The Mars Orbiter Laser Altimeter (MOLA) on the Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) mission will produce a precision global geodetic control network for Mars of 30,000 - 50,000 points which will be accurate to…

Viking Orbiter images were reprocessed using new techniques to produce a precision controlled, photomosaic map of the Mars Pathfinder landing site prior to landing. The difference between the…

Imagery is the major source for our current understanding of the geologic and climatologic evolution of Mars. It has the potential to drastically enhance our knowledge in the future and is an…

The Imager for Mars Pathfinder (IMP) obtained 5 full panoramic sets of images, varying in color and stereo coverage and degree of data compression, from the highly compressed First Look to the…
