About SBIB - Ceres

Ceres Mission Phases (end to beginning) covered in SBIB

XMO7 - Elliptical orbit; resolution between 3m/pixel and 390m/pixel
XMO6 - Intermediate orbit; resolution between 40m/pixel and 300m/pixel
Opposition - Opposition observations; FOV about the size of Ceres
GRaND - Orbit conducive for the GRaND instrument; FOV about half the size of Ceres
Juling - Higher Altitude Orbit; about 140m/pixel resolution
Extended LAMO - Extended Mission Low Altitude Mapping Orbit
LAMO - Low Altitude Mapping Orbit; about 35m/pixel resolution
HAMO - High Altitude Mapping Orbit; about 140m/pixel resolution
Survey - Consists of a full and complete survey of Ceres; includes all FC filters and expansive VIR observations
TransS - Transfer from RC3 to Survey
RC3 - FOV is about the size of Ceres
Approach - FOV is always larger than Ceres

Map Projection and Arc-GIS

Data can be imported into ArcMAP 10.1 by downloading the ISIS Map cubes.
Most images (PNG and thumbnails) were generated with an equirectangular projection. Images that are near the poles have been projected with a polar projection.

Maps

We use several different overview maps for the Image Browser.

Topographic from HAMO
Equatorial from DLR
Northpole from DLR
Southpole from DLR

Data processing

We used the USGS software tool Integrated Software for Imagers and Spectrometers (ISIS) as the main tool to process the data. We used the pre-Dawn shape model posted at USGS and the ISIS software routines to convert images into map-based projections.

Coordinates

This software uses the Dawn post-Survey updated coordinate system ( details).

Spin Pole of Ceres at RA=291.4 deg, Dec=66.8 deg
