See Mars Like Never Before With Tianwen-1’s High-Resolution Global Map

Researchers leveraging the Tianwen-1 mission’s data have developed a high-resolution global color-image map of Mars, achieving an unprecedented resolution of 76 meters and enhancing the color authenticity of Mars images.

This new map, built using cutting-edge image processing techniques, now serves as a vital geographic reference for Mars exploration and research, potentially revolutionizing our understanding of the Martian surface.

Mars Remote Sensing
Remote-sensing images of Mars contain rich information about its surface morphology, topography, and geological structure. These data are fundamental for scientific research and exploration missions of Mars. Prior to China’s first Mars exploration mission, data from six advanced optical imaging systems of different missions in the Martian orbit have been used to generate Mars global/near-global image datasets with spatial resolutions better than 1 km.
