Well, that makes for us tweakers don’t care. The fact that such a thing can, of course, is already enough to build it. And that exactly is what they have at NASA probably have thought of it. The American space agency made a Google Maps-like variant for Mars: NASA Mars Trek.
Not that NASA Mars Pull of no use, because who the site a few seconds of watching soon discovers that there enough to experience. So can the red planet in a 3d display be viewed and the 2d-view to a detailed level to be zoomed in. Quickly then it falls on that craters a hundred kilometers in diameter no rarity.
The data for the Mars tool come from the various spacecraft that NASA over the past few years, the planet has sent. Specific data filtering by instrument and per spacecraft: the Odyssey, the Global Surveyor or the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. In addition, the precise landingsplekken of the Mars-carts Curiosity and Opportunity to consult.
Finally, NASA tools to particular parts of Mars to select it. So can a pin be placed, a line has to be drawn or free-hand be gekliederd. Enough to have some time to kill. So, we see each other at Sharonov?
