Geographic Information Systems (GIS) have been a tremendous part of the way that paper maps have evolved into current technology.\u00a0 GIS is helping governments, organizations and students think spatially, and to speak the language of mapping.\u00a0 We at Esri really appreciate how GIS has made the joy of exploration and understanding more accessible to a wider audience, and our users have produced and shared maps and visualizations from around the world.\u00a0 Now, we can explore other worlds!<\/a><\/p>\n

We\u2019ve recently developed the ability to use other planetary coordinate systems with a 3D globe, and the timing couldn\u2019t be better as we anticipate the landing of the Perseverance rover.\u00a0 Digital elevation models, precise imagery and spatial data representing previous rover landing sites all display accurately under the Martian coordinate system, and this 3D application enables your exploration of the Martian surface.\u00a0 We\u2019ve included a few tools that we thought would help you better understand the shape and scale of Mars, and to quickly find information on the previous landing sites.<\/p>\n

Measure<\/h2>\n

Measurement tools are a helpful first step to answer some basic questions:\u00a0 \u201cHow big is that crater?\u201d \u201cHow tall is that mountain?\u201d\u00a0 As we\u2019re utilizing the Martian coordinate system for display, the data is accurately displayed based on the real size of the planet. We offer three measurement tools for you to work with, and all of these can display results in different unit measurements:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Line:<\/strong> From a distance, you can draw a line along the surface of Mars that will curve to measure longer geodesic length.\u00a0 You can also zoom into a crater, for example, and measure a straight line that will also measure horizontal and vertical distances.<\/li>\n
  • Area:<\/strong> You can draw a polygon to learn surface area and perimeter.\u00a0 Double-click to finish the polygon and see the area and perimeter.<\/li>\n
  • Elevation:<\/strong> You can draw several line segments to understand the elevation with a profile graph.\u00a0 The graph starts to show as you\u2019re drawing the lines, and you can double-click to see the finished result.\u00a0 This is useful to understand what Perseverance’s path will look like as it will traverse some hilly terrain.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":1144492,"id":1144492,"title":"OP_MarsElevation","filename":"OP_MarsElevation.png","filesize":465217,"url":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/02\/OP_MarsElevation.png","link":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/js-api-arcgis\/3d-gis\/explore-mars-with-gis\/op_marselevation","alt":"","author":"8352","description":"","caption":"Elevation Profile for Perseverance's planned path.
