Mars surface mapping

Mars surface mapping involves creating detailed representations of the planet’s landscape using data collected from satellites and rovers. Scientists utilize various techniques, including radar, imaging, and laser altimetry, to capture features like mountains, valleys, and plains. This mapping helps identify potential resources, study geological history, and assess the planet's climate. By understanding Mars' surface, researchers can learn more about its past and potential for future exploration or habitation. Mapping is essential for planning missions and selecting landing sites, contributing to our knowledge of both Mars and planetary science as a whole.
