Cartographic Applications Derived From The Analysis Of Spacecraft Data From Mars James R. Zimbelman Center for Earth and Planetary Studies, National Air and Space Museum, MRC 315, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C. 20013-7012, U.S.A. zimbelmanj@ Several active spacecraft at the planet Mars have returned a wide variety of data that are amenable to mapping projects. Research projects supported by grants from several programs within the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) make use of the new data in a variety of applications. Several on-going (or recently completed) research projects can be used to illustrate the cartographic potential of various imaging and geophysical data sets obtained from several NASA spacecraft at Mars. A research grant supported by the Mars Data Analysis Program of NASA involves the study of wind-related (aeolian) bedforms with wavelengths of from 10 to 100 meters. The science question to be addressed is the use of spacecraft data to assess whether these wind-deposited features are small sand dunes or large ripples (distinctly different processes are associated with the formation of these two types of features). Aeolian bedforms with wavelengths 100 meters are found in and around topographic obstacles throughout the equatorial and mid-latitudes of Mars [1]. Images obtained from the two Mars Exploration Rovers (MERs) [2-4] and from various cameras on the Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) [5-6], Mars Odyssey [7-8], and most recently the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) [9-10] reveal an abundance of aeolian bedforms over a considerable range of scales, providing insights into the formation processes that produced these features. Figure 1 shows an example of these small aeolian bedforms as revealed in the high resolution images obtained by the Mars Orbiter Camera (MOC) on the MGS spacecraft. Figure 2 Figure 2. The first full-resolution (25 cm/pixel) image obtained by the HiRISE camera on the MRO spacecraft revealed
