This orthorectified image was created by projecting an image from the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter Context Camera (CTX) onto a Digital Terrain Model (DTM). The DTM is available under the “Derived…
This mosaic represents the Thermal Emission Imaging System (THEMIS) -nighttime infrared (IR) 100 meter/pixel mosaic (version 12) released in the summer of 2014 by Arizona State University. Values…
In 2003-2005, the USGS worked under the guidance of NASA's Mars Critical Data Products Initiative to conduct research on how controlled large area or global 2001 Mars Odyssey THEMIS IR image mosaics…

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…
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…
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…
The RAND-USGS control network of Mars is a combination of the RAND control network and the USGS network.
The International Mars Conference highlights the wealth of scientific data now and soon to be acquired from an international armada of Mars-bound robotic spacecraft. Underlying the planning and…
The MGS Orbiter is carrying the high-precision Mars Orbiter Laser Altimeter (MOLA) which, when combined with precision reconstructed orbital data and telemetered attitude data, provides a tie between…
We describe an interactive terrain visualization system which rapidly generates and interactively displays photorealistic three-dimensional (3-D) models produced from stereo images. This product,…
Recent geodetic observations of Mars by the Mars Global Surveyor spacecraft, particularly the altimetry and gravity experiments, have provided a new framework in which Mars may be geodetically…
The USGS is producing digital elevation models (DEM) and topographic maps of Mars at scales of 1:250,000 to 1:1,000,000. The initial source material will be Viking Orbiter images, with a later…
A basic requirement for the planning of future, perhaps even manned Mars missions are precise and high resolution maps of our neighbour planet and, especially, of the landing area. Here we present a…
