Abstract

The first map of the far side of the moon was made with the participation of Lomonosov Moscow University (Sternberg Astronomical Institute MSU) in 1961. These mapping technologies were then used in preparing the “Complete Map of the Moon” in 1967, and other maps. There is a special course in “The Mapping of Extraterrestrial Objects” for students of the Geographical Department of MSU. Some students have made maps of Mars as graduation theses and are still working on this theme at the Sternberg State Astronomical Institute. For example J.A. Ilukhina (Brekhovskikh) compiled a hypsometric map of Mars at a scale 1:26 000 000. This map was published in 2004 with an edition of 5 000 copies. The maps of the northern and southern hemispheres of Mars have also been compiled for the hypsometric globes of Mars. M.S. Shibanova (Lazareva) made hypsometric maps of Phobos and Deimos at a scale of 1:60 000, published in 2011 with an edition of 200 copies. Later she prepared a more detailed version of the Hypsometric Map of Mars with a new hypsometric scale. This chapter describes the compilation of these maps.
