English: http://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/catalog/PIA02031 PIA02031: Maps of Mars Global Topography Target Name:Mars Is a satellite of:Sol (our sun) Mission: Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) Spacecraft: Mars Global Surveyor Orbiter Instrument: MOLA Product Size:2497 x 2221 pixels (width x height) Produced By: Goddard Space Flight Center Producer ID: P50409 MRPS95009 Addition Date:1999-05-27 Primary Data Set:MGS EDRs Full-Res TIFF: PIA02031.tif (11.74 MB) Full-Res JPEG: PIA02031.jpg (1.145 MB) Mars global topography. The Tharsis volcano-tectonic province is centered near the equator in the longitude range 220° E to 300° E and contains the vast east-west trending Valles Marineris canyon system and several major volcanic shields including Olympus Mons (18° N, 225° E), Alba Patera (42° N, 252° E), Ascraeus Mons (12° N, 248° E), Pavonis Mons (0°, 247° E), and Arsia Mons (9° S, 239° E). Regions and structures discussed in the text include Solis Planum (25° S, 270° E), Lunae Planum (10° N, 290° E), and Claritas Fossae (30° S, 255° E). Major impact basins include Hellas (45° S, 70° E), Argyre (50° S, 320° E), Isidis (12° N, 88° E), and Utopia (45° N, 110° E). This analysis uses an areocentric coordinate convention with east longitude positive. Color coding on this map of the planet Mars indicates relative elevations based on data from the Mars Orbiter Laser Altimeter on NASA's Mars Global Surveyor. Reds and pinks are higher elevation (from +3 km to +8 km); yellow is 0 km; blues and greens are lower elevation (down to -8 km).The highest elevations are browns (>+8 km) and whites (>+12 km). In longitude, the map extends from 70 degrees (north) to minus 70 degrees (south). The east-west axis is labeled at the bottom in degrees of east longitude, with the zero meridian at the center. NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, operated by the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, manages the Mars Science Laboratory for the NASA Science Mission Directorate, Washington.
