Mapping ratio for solid planetary objects in Solar System

[3488]

<p>Hi Joel,<br /><br />I will help you with this.<br /><br />Brad is correct, Mercury is 75% mapped now (Mariner 10 & MESSENGER @ decent resolution,<br />300 metres or less). <br /><br />Arecibo has radar imaged more, but is & a resolution nothing to be compared to <br />both Mariner 10 & MESSENGER. In October it will be about 97% up 2% from initial estimates.<br /><br />Mercury January 2008.<br /><br />Venus.<br /><br />The Moon.<br /><br />Mars, Phobos & Deimos.<br /><br />Asteroid 433 Eros.<br /><br />Asteroid 951 Gaspra.<br /><br />Jupiter Moons<br /><br />Amalthea post Galileo.<br /><br />Io post Galileo.<br /><br />Europa post Galileo. <br /><br />Ganymede post Galileo.<br /><br />Callisto post Galileo.<br /><br />Saturn Moons.<br /><br />Mimas December 2006.<br /><br />Enceladus December 2006.<br /><br /></p> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><font color="#000080">"I suddenly noticed an anomaly to the left of Io, just off the rim of that world.

Thanks Andrew,<br />Actually I went already to these links for the update of the table.<br />But it's not easy to infer the percentage of uncharted territory:<br /><= because they use processing to fill gaps (recycling overstreched pixels from view taken in grazing incidence)<br /><= because of the planispheric projection (the polar areas are frequently uncharted)<br /><br />Best regards.
