Now we are down safely I am starting a map thread. Everything that happens during 2021 will be covered in my still-in-progress atlas, so I have to make the maps for that and everyone can follow as they evolve.
Let me know if any feature names start to show up. Preliminary map even though not much has happened yet. But if you look closely you will see something, even now. Phil -------------------- ... because the Solar System ain't gonna map itself.

For those of you who might want to navigate this trip with Google Mars/Earth, as well, I've prepared some overlays using the large basemaps created by the USGS that were mentioned earlier in this thread.
The overview map is 5322x5040 with 6m/pixel resolution: The larger 6.9GB map was broken into manageable 4000x4000 tiles with 0.25m/pixel resolution: You can see some overlays of the various HiRISE and rover downcam images. For the rover track, I cobbled together a script that scrapes the "Where is Perseverance?" web page. Right now I have to run the script manually, but plan to automate it once I can make it more robust. You can download a zip file (55MB) with everything or download files individually at the site. Additional map tiles will be added to the site soon to accommodate the planned route. The elevation data currently used by GE is low resolution, so only the largest features like the crater rim render well with everything else looking kind of flat. One thing I like about GE is that it provides an easy way to geolocate the interesting images presented in this forum for future reference. Mark |
