----------------------------Original message----------------------------
In case anybody is interested, I enclose the Planetary Map FAQ file
(FAQ = answers to Frequently Asked Questions), which I maintain and
post sporadically to the Usenet astronomy and space groups. The
file is also available by FTP from our FTP site, whose address is included
in this enclosure.
At that FTP site you can also find .GIF images of maps of small bodies
like asteroids and the moons of Mars which I have produced as part of
my Small Bodies Mapping Program, and cartobibliographies for selected
worlds. All items at this location are in the public domain.

PLANETARY MAPS: (this article is in the public domain)
A list of maps of all mapped solar system bodies except Earth, 53 by May
1996. If there are many maps (e.g. Mars) a general purpose global map is
listed, subdivided if necessary: relief maps (usually with placenames),
topography (contours), geological maps... If not (e.g. Deimos) the best
available map is listed. Some (e.g. Comet Encke) are simple diagrams of
possible surface features ('sketch' under map type). A few interesting
books are listed at the end. Questions, errors or omissions: please
contact me (Phil Stooke) at: [log in to unmask]
For IAU definitions of North, longitudes, prime meridians etc. see Chapter
5 of PLANETARY MAPPING (see below) and further references in that chapter.

for price and ordering details. NASA Tech. Memo. 4395 (Indexes of Maps of
Planets and Satellites 1992) by J. Inge and R. Batson is the best guide to
sheet maps. Most Apollo-era Moon maps (LAC, LTO) are out of print, but
some (+ NASA CD-ROMS) may be found at NSSDC: National Space Science Data
Center, Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, Maryland USA 20771. Edmund
Scientific: 101 E.Gloucester Pike, Barrington, NJ 08007-1380, USA. Virtual
Reality Labs: 2341 Ganador Ct., San Luis Obispo, CA 93401, USA. Other
maps are in books and journals. Bibliographic data are abbreviated but
there should be enough detail to find the item. Maps of small bodies drawn
by me are available by anonymous FTP from Phobos.sscl.uwo.ca/pub/Space.
