NSSDC ID:
PSPG-00177
Software
Software compatible with MS-DOS, Macintosh, Sun, and VAX platforms on CD-ROMs
Note
- When complete, this data set should contain approximately 50 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.
- FMAPs are very similar to the Magellan F-MIDRs.
- Volumes 262,264,265 are incorrectly labeled as Right Looking Data.
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 stereo-look data consists of left-looking radar coverage
from cycle 3 which overlaps some of the the coverage in the FMAP
left-looking set (vols. 1 - 170). The stereo-look data was taken
at a different look angle, so when a quadrangle is matched up
with its complementary quadrangle from the
left-looking set,
the two quadrangles make a stereo pair. See the FMAP index to
determine which CD volumes hold complementary data.
The complete data set for the stereo-look radar data does not
cover the entire globe. When complete, it will consist of about
100 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.
