With all this incredible photography, Vesta is going to be an excellent specimen for a foldable map.
Tayfun -- are you out there with your CADCAM machine still operable? How long until we have enough data (a "shape model" do they call it?) for you to carve one for me of this beast, er, lady? Chuck |

Chuck A model seems a few years away, why don't you try to transfer your methods into software environment. |

No way I can see to extract the constant scale, not to say that I haven't been trying to transfer my Renaissance-era methods into the software environment. Although to be fair, I'm not very skillful with PDS shape models, and perhaps someone else could do it. I guess we may have to wait a few years, although the Itokawa team sent me a model a while back. You don't suppose the Dawn team has any plans to manufacture a small run of Vesta models? Chuck |
