Topographic Map Of Venus
This artist s concept shows the proposed veritas spacecraft using its radar to produce high resolution maps of venus topographic and geologic features.
Topographic map of venus. W 180 e 180 n 78 s 65. This artist s concept shows the proposed veritas spacecraft using its radar to produce high resolution maps of venus topographic and geologic features. Altimetric radar image map of venus 1997 usgs series i 2444 and topographic map of venus 1997 usgs series i 2444. This map was created as if the light source comes from the east.
Topographic map of venus there are three types of topography on venus highlands with elevation greater than 2 km cover about 10 of the surface deposition plains with elevations around 0 to 2 km cover more than 50 of the surface. Exhibited at 27th igc international map book exhibit 1992. Mapped by magellan are shown in gray filled with data from the altimeter. This map shows the surface of venus as captured in altimeter topography data from the magellan spacecraft during its first three 8 month cycles in orbit the map is displayed in mercator projection.
Short for venus emissivity radio science insar topography spectroscopy veritas is being considered for selection under nasa s discovery program and would be managed by nasa s jet propulsion laboratory in southern california. The second map is venus shaded relief which is a topographic map that has been rendered so that it appears three dimensional by creating shadows that would be cast if there was a light source. The project s partners include lockheed martin the italian space agency. Venera 4 venera 5 venera 6 venera 7 venera 8 venera 14 descent craft and the pioneer venus day probe.
It would also capture. Available also through the library of congress web site as a raster image.
