Description

Mercury had half of its surface measured by the Messenger spacecraft. The 30x exaggeration factor reveals vast depression, similar to the Moon Globe 30x.

DESCRIPTION = "This data product is a shape map (radius)
of Mercury at a resolution of 21.293 km/pix by 21.293 km/pix,
based on altimetry data acquired through the Mapping Phase
by the MLA instrument. The preliminary MLA data are the source for
this data set. The ground tracks were interpolated using the Generic
Mapping Tools programs 'surface' and 'grdblend'. The map is in
the form of a binary table with one row for each
0.5 degrees of latitude, pixel registered. Map values
are relative to a radius of 2440 km.
This label describes an IMG file in the form of a binary resampling
to pixel registration.
