I am setting this up to contain maps of the InSight landing site, but at this stage it is hard to know exactly what form they will take. I hope to have a map of the 20 m or so around the lander with a few feature names if any are assigned, and maps of the workspace showing operations step by step. Maps showing the locations of distant features on the horizon might also be added.
To start off, here is a very preliminary map of the workspace and the area under the front of the lander, which will improve as more images are added to cover parts blocked by struts. The lower image shows the SEIS position, as accurately as I can get it now. I put north at the top. The scale and orientation are from a map in a recent paper about the arm and the base is from the JPL press release image, the two being registered to match the workspace outline which is shown in both. Doug's map is rotated slightly compared with this. Phil -------------------- ... because the Solar System ain't gonna map itself.

Update to the map showing the HP3 deployment - my current best guess for the location. Apart from some tidying up this will be the last workspace map, unless we get some arm activities like creating soil piles to monitor wind erosion, which have been discussed as possibilities. I am hoping for more, because 'this will be the last map' is not a phrase I like to use very often. Later I will be making maps of the surrounding area to add to this thread.
