Material Detail

The Planetary Geology and Geophysics Program co-sponsors an international system of regional planetary image facilities (RPIFs). These facilities function as a library of planetary image data and associated information. Each of the 13 facilities contains nearly half a million planetary images. The facilities maintain photographic copies and digital data. In addition, several RPIFs offer workstations for users to conduct on-site image and cartographic processing. Each facility's general holdings, containing images of planets and their satellites taken from both Earth and space, together with topographic and geologic maps produced from these images, include the following:
