Landing Site Map Compilation for MSL *Objective is to produce maps of MSL landing site regions for: *Aid to science team selection of final landing site. *Aid to NAV team in determining whether TCMs needed en route. *Assessment of surface hazards to EDL. *Accurate location of surface features for localization after landing. *Accurate location of surface features for rover traverse planning. *High-quality image map as multi-layer “virtual map” file: *Enables rapid inclusion of latest orbiter images and derived data products. *MOLA topography Base map MDIM1 and 2 base maps for MPF and initially for MER. *Viking MDIM2 Supplements MOLA registration at low latitudes *THEMIS Daytime IR images. Provides uniform illumination and resolution coverage *THEMIS VIS images. *MOC images. *HIRISE images. *Derived products (e.g., Thermal Inertia, Rock abundance models/counts). *Does not require resampling of images of different pixel scales to common value, thus preserving original data. *New GIS plug-in for Canvas should enable export of fine registration information to users of other GIS applications.
