Development of a new Phobos atlas based on Mars Express image data

A new Phobos Atlas has been prepared, which includes a variety of thematic maps at various projections and scales, emphasizing dynamic topography, surface multispectral properties, geomorphology, as well as grooves- and crater statistics. The atlas benefits from innovative mapping techniques and rec...

More Information
Summary:A new Phobos Atlas has been prepared, which includes a variety of thematic maps at various projections and scales, emphasizing dynamic topography, surface multispectral properties, geomorphology, as well as grooves- and crater statistics. The atlas benefits from innovative mapping techniques and recent results from Mars Express image processing: new derived control point networks, shape models and gravity field working models. A structure of the atlas is presented and some examples of the maps are shown. The Phobos Atlas can be useful for the future mission planning to the Martian satellite. •We have developed the new Phobos Atlas derived from Mars Express images.•The new Phobos Atlas combines results of recent studies of the small body.•It includes 42 base and thematic maps at various projections and scales.•We present cartographical conception and structure of the Atlas, and demonstrate some maps.
