INTRODUCTION
|
| |
Previous workshops held at University College London in 1998 and Caltech in 1999
focused on mapping of Mars, but the many cartographic applications of data from recent
missions to other bodies warrant broadening the scope of the meeting. The Planetary
Mapping 2003 Workshop included abstracts on Venus, Earth's Moon, Mars, the Galilean
and Saturnian satellites, and asteroid 433 Eros. The Extraterrestrial Mapping Workshop,
held as part of the ISPRS Commission IV Symposium, included abstracts and posters on
Mars and Comet Borrelly. The goal of this workshop, Advances in Planetary Mapping
2007, is to include contributions describing the mapping of asteroids, comets, and
planetary bodies and their satellites, including results from new missions to Mars, Saturn,
and Comets Wild 2 and Tempel 1.
