Here is a constant-scale natural boundary map of Ida that folds to a decent replica of the asteroid. Map edges are Ida's major ridges.[attachment=16299:Ida_MaxRidge_post.jpg]
[EDIT] Here it is again with the photomosaic properly credited; apologies to M. Nyrtsov for my oversight. |

Here are the Phobos slices. As I don't know how they will be used, I left them in 3D space. They are 0.3 km's apart.

Well, so far so good. I downloaded and unzipped the file, then imported it into VectorWorks, where it appears to be all there.
I can probably figure out how to core an alignment hole or two through them, but I'm not sure I have the strength to print out each layer (must be thirty or so, right) on stock (how thick)? Maybe someone else has a laser cutter? Let me sleep on this. Maybe I'll think of something . . . Great shot, by the way, Tayfun of the Northerly view of Ida. I'll work up a plate on that while I ponder this slices business. |
