Abstract

MIIGAiK is developing an automated GIS-oriented mapping technology for studies of planetary surfaces. Here we present the results of the Luna-17 Landing Site GIS mapping. In our study we used the high resolution orthoimages and DEM, which were previously obtained at DLR from the photogrammetric processing of LRO (Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter) NAC (Narrow Angle Camera) stereo images (07350_M150749234, 07351_M150756018) with spatial resolutions of 0.5 m/pixel. Both data sets were used for landing site area and Lunokhod-1 traverse GIS analyses. The work carried out may prepare us for searching and assessing future landing sites of the LUNA-GLOB and LUNA-RESOURCE missions.
