The GIS-Octopus Mapping and Surveying Agency [02/06/2016] - Kerbin]

[Cyriak]

The GIS-Octopus Mapping and Surveying Agency presents

Project

ORBAT-Kerbol

ORbital, Biome and Altimetry, Telemetry _{of the planets in the Kerbol system}

GMSA has partnered with DMagic Orbital Science corporation and SCANsat in an effort to map the entire Kerbol system.

The aim of the project is to provide space agencies with high resolution altimetry to aid relevant planetary surface operations.

Progress has been slow due to a lack of funding but a recent donation from the Mario-Foundation has allowed GMSA to serve coffee again to its employees. Moral is better then ever now.

Consider donating to the GMSA employees. We need lots of coffee and every little bit helps!

I hope you guys enjoy these maps.

More are on their way

Bump. Keep up with the good work!

[Cyriak]

Added Minmus and Duna maps to the OP

Hope you guys enjoy them.

Please comment and give feedback

These are insanely useful, I especially like the biome overlay map to plan science trips. You don't happen to have a minimum size requirement for a biome to count in these, do you? Looking at the biome and landing guide maps I feel like some of them are taking into account a square meter of space that's Duna Craters (for example) and it'd be functionally impossible to find.

Added Moho maps to the OP

Hope you enjoy this TMarkos!

Please comment and give feedback!

[Cyriak]

A added a poll on my post, Let me know which planet/moon you want mapped next!

[TicTacToe!]

Love the biome focal-stat maps, so handy for planning landings! How did you produce them? I voted for Eve next, purely because it would look cool as hell on a map (and it would help to find a landing spot under dense cloud... yeah, that sounds good ).

[Cyriak]

Its a focal statistic that counts the number of different biomes in a defines radius.

[HafCoJoe]

If you did Laythe I could possibly use it in my up and coming movie...

[HoloYolo]

Eeloo master race.

[Cyriak]

If you did Laythe I could possibly use it in my up and coming movie...

I voted for Eve to check if the poll is still functional, that means that Laythe is in the lead.

Eeloo is far...

[jjansen]

I love ya, Cyriak, ya Psycho.

But I gotta take issue with your comment signature. I demand you change the word "Silly" to the word "Cool" !

[Cyriak]

Haha, okay I'll do that

[DMSP]

Looks cool!

Do Laythe!

[Cyriak]

Looks cool!

Do Laythe!

[Cyriak]

Laythe is weird okay

[Cyriak]

Laythe maps are done! Could a MOD please remove my poll from the thread.

[TicTacToe!]

That topographical map of Laythe is bizarre

[Cyriak]

It was a royal pain in the ass... negative values don't play nicely in arcgis without the right binary encoding. Took me an age to get a proper encoder and to write a proper header for the files to load and display accurately

[DYJ]

Laythe maps are done! Could a MOD please remove my poll from the thread.

Poll gone.

[Cyriak]

Thank you very much DYJ

[Drew Kerman]

could you make low-res maps using the RADAR data? It's all that KSA has of Mun and I'd like to formally commission (as in pay) for some area-focused terrain maps to assist with landing planning. Don't know tho if you've considered any work with the low-res results (as opposed to the SAR instrument)

[Cyriak]

Hay man sure, You should PM me about what you need. I'd like to know what sort of maps you would need and what areas and at what scale you want them... I can literally customise everything for you

[cyberKerb]

Just an idea for another map if you get time / finish other planets.

Is it possible to see an updated height / inclination like is shown on the Mun wiki page? The idea of this map would be able to show the minimum orbit height for the various airless body for those that like to skim the surface.

Also - how High rez can you get a map? Big enough to print for a poster?
