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.

It's been a while since I added anything here, so I will post this work in progress view of Homestead Hollow as a reprojected panorama. I'm still working on the panorama and there's a lot to do. Lighting is inconsistent and the central gap has to be filled, but you can see what it will look like. If anyone has new panorama work that might contribute I would love to see it.
Next step is to project this onto a HiRISE base image, as I did with Phoenix some years ago. Phil -------------------- ... because the Solar System ain't gonna map itself.
