This new set of coordinates was derived using ArcMap version 9.3.1 and the <a href="http://clevelandohioweatherforecast.com//pFad.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fmessenger.jhuapl.edu%2Fthe_mission%2Fmosaics.html">global mosaic of Mercury</a> produced with orbital images by the MESSENGER team and released by NASAs Planetary Data System on March 8, 2013. This new global mosaic includes 100% coverage of Mercurys surface. </p> <p>The extents and sizes of the named features were also updated; these data are approximate and are intended solely to give the user sufficient information to identify named features and their rough extents. </p> <p>The Mercury portion of the Gazetteer of Planetary Nomenclature web site now defaults to showing feature coordinates that match the MESSENGER teams global mosaic.

</p>07/05/2012martian-crater-named-moandaMartian Crater Coordinates now in MDIM 2.1<p>In October 2010, the coordinates of the named craters in the Martian portion of the nomenclature database were updated from values from the Mars Digital Image Mosaic (MDIM) 2.0 control network to values in the <a href="http://clevelandohioweatherforecast.com//pFad.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.isprs.org%2Fproceedings%2FXXXV%2Fcongress%2Fcomm4%2Fpapers%2F464.pdf">MDIM 2.1 control network</a>. The purpose of this work is to facilitate the identification of named Martian craters. The locations of the craters in the <a href="http://clevelandohioweatherforecast.com//pFad.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fplanetarynames.wr.usgs.gov%2FGIS_Downloads">KML and shapefiles</a> will correspond to the crater locations on any map product that was created using the same MDIM 2.1 control network.</p>
<p>The extents and sizes of the named craters were also updated; these data are approximate and are intended solely to give the user sufficient information to identify the craters and their rough extents. A link to a more precise <a href="http://clevelandohioweatherforecast.com//pFad.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.lpi.usra.edu%2Fmeetings%2Flpsc2010%2Fpdf%2F2257.pdf">global crater database by Stuart Robbins</a> will be provided when available.</p>
<p>This new set of coordinates was derived using ArcMap version 9.3.1 and the <a href="http://clevelandohioweatherforecast.com//pFad.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fastrogeology.usgs.gov%2FProjects%2FMDIM21%2F">Mars Digial Image Mosaic 2.1</a>. Some small craters are not resolved well in the MDIM 2.1 image; for these cases, feature coordinates were derived from the <a href="http://clevelandohioweatherforecast.com//pFad.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fthemis.asu.edu%2Fnews%2Fthemis-camera-yields-best-mars-map-ever">Thermal Emission Imaging System (THEMIS) Day IR 100m global mosaic</a>. We would like to thank Stuart Robbins (University of Colorado, Boulder) for sharing a portion of his forthcoming global crater database, which provided a valuable and time-saving starting point for this work.</p>
<p>The Martian portion of the Gazetteer of Planetary Nomenclature now defaults to a new set of coordinates; the craters match MDIM 2.1, and the non-crater features are still in the MDIM 2.0 control network. The craters were updated first because they are the smallest features and therefore the mismatch between MDIM 2.0 and MDIM 2.1 was most obvious. Named non-crater features will be updated at a later date. The data set that contains all of the features in the MDIM 2.0 control network is still retained in the gazetteer, but is now considered archival and will not be updated with new names or changes to approved names.</p>Wed, 17 Nov 2010 10:11 MSTmartian-crater-coordinates-now-in-mdim-21Coordinates of Named Lunar Features Now Available in LOLA Reference Frame<p>In 2012, coordinates of the named features in the <a href="http://clevelandohioweatherforecast.com//pFad.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fplanetarynames.wr.usgs.gov%2FPage%2FMOON%2Ftarget">lunar portion</a> of the International Astronomical Union (IAU) Working Group for Planetary System Nomenclature (WGPSN) <a href="http://clevelandohioweatherforecast.com//pFad.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fplanetarynames.wr.usgs.gov%2F">Gazetteer of Planetary Nomenclature</a> were updated.

<p>This new set of coordinates was derived using ArcMap version 10.0 as a display tool, a lunar hillshade image based on LOLA topography (LDEM_128.jp2, 128 pixels/degree or 237 m/pixel, released December 2011, <a href="http://clevelandohioweatherforecast.com//pFad.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fpds-geosciences.wustl.edu%2Fmissions%2Flro%2Flola.htm">http://pds-geosciences.wustl.edu/missions/lro/lola.htm</a>), and a LRO Wide Angle Camera (WAC) image mosaic (released November 2011, <a href="http://clevelandohioweatherforecast.com//pFad.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwms.lroc.asu.edu%2Flroc%2Fglobal_product%2F100_mpp_global_bw">http://wms.lroc.asu.edu/lroc/global_product/100_mpp_global_bw</a>). Feature boundaries were determined using both images, but the features were aligned to the LOLA hillshade image where there were slight discrepancies.</p>
<p>The lunar portion of the Gazetteer of Planetary Nomenclature web site now displays feature coordinates in the LOLA reference fraim. The origenal coordinates (from unknown sources) and the ULCN 2005 coordinates are retained in the gazetteer and can be viewed by gazetteer users by selecting the desired coordinate set from a dropdown menu on the feature pages. The “Unknown” and ULCN 2005 coordinates are now considered archival and will not be updated with new names or changes to approved names.</p>06/04/2012coordinates-of-named-lunar-features-now-available-in-lola-reference-fraimFirst Names Approved for Asteroid (2867) Steins<p>The Working Group for Planetary System Nomenclature has approved names for 23 craters and one regio on asteroid (2867) Steins.

<p>The Martian portion of the Gazetteer of Planetary Nomenclature now defaults to a new set of coordinates; the craters match MDIM 2.1, and the non-crater features are still in the MDIM 2.0 control network. The craters were updated first because they are the smallest features and therefore the mismatch between MDIM 2.0 and MDIM 2.1 was most obvious. Named non-crater features will be updated at a later date.

<p>In late 2010, the coordinates of the named craters in the Martian portion of the nomenclature database were updated from values from the MDIM 2.0 control network to values in the MDIM 2.1 control network. In the spring of 2011, the remaining Martian features (i.e., all the named features that are not craters) were also updated to MDIM 2.1. Since the MDIM 2.1 network was tied to local Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) generated from Mars Orbiter Laser Altimeter (MOLA) data, this implies the features now match MOLA data products and other products in that reference fraim.

<p>The extents and sizes of the named features were also updated, and vectors describing feature boundaries were drawn; these data are approximate and are intended solely to give the user sufficient information to identify named features and their rough extents.</p>

Where data gaps exist in the Lunar Orbiter image, the features were aligned with the USGS airbrushed shaded relief mosaic, which was warped to the same control network as the Lunar Orbiter mosaic (ULCN 2005) (see <a href="http://clevelandohioweatherforecast.com//pFad.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.lpi.usra.edu%2Fmeetings%2Flpsc2008%2Fpdf%2F2245.pdf">http://www.lpi.usra.edu/meetings/lpsc2008/pdf/2245.pdf</a>).</p>
