Popis

Beginning with the systematic mapping of the lunar surface more than three decades ago, this database contains over 1600 maps of the planets and satellites of the Solar System. This collection of maps is a unique resource that has been derived from images and data returned by a series of space missions. Many of the maps have not been replicated or updated with data from new missions, and thus they represent a very special legacy from the beginnings of space exploration. The total map database includes controlled photomosaics, geologic maps, shaded relief portrayals, topographic maps, and panoramas of the martian surface.
