Software compatible with MS-DOS, Macintosh, Sun, and VAX
platforms on CD-ROMs
Note
- This set is the right-looking radar from the Magellan spacecraft. The
first ~170 volumes are
left-looking radar.
There were more radar images taken looking left than right.
- 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 for the right-looking radar data does not
cover the entire globe. When complete, it will consist of about
200 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.
