Software
Software compatible with MS-DOS, Macintosh, Sun, and VAX
platforms on CD-ROMs
Note
- This set is the left-looking radar from the Magellan spacecraft.
The next ~80 volumes are
right-looking radar.
- When complete, this data set will contain 170 CD-ROMs.
- The display software packages on the CD-ROM are in compressed format.
Requesters will need to use their own decompression software to decompress
the display software.
Information
The FMAP is a full-resolution (75 meters/pixel) global radar mosaic of Venus
produced by the US Geological Survey from Magellan Full Resolution Basic
Image Data Records (F-BIDRs).
The complete data set consists of 340 quadrangles in sinusoidal equal-area
projection. Quadrangles extend approximately 12 degrees in latitude except
for those between 84 and 90 degrees north and south. Quadrangles near the
equator extend 12 degrees in longitude; at higher latitudes, the longitudinal
extent is increased to maintain a roughly constant number of samples.
The data between 84 and 90 degrees north are also available in Polar
Stereographic projection on a separate volume. These maps contain all
coverage obtained with the left-looking radar profile (about 92% of Venus).
Each of the 170 CD-ROM volumes will contain two FMAP quadrangles. One
quadrangle is composed of 36 framelets of about 7.5MBytes each.
