New Horizons (NH) Geology and Geophysical Maps, Derived from the LOng-Range Reconnaissance Imager (LORRI) and the Multispectral Visible Imaging Camera (MVIC) Data, Version 1.0

This data set contains the New Horizons Pluto Encounter geology and geophysics science theme team derived mosaics, topographic and bond albedo maps for Pluto and Charon. Detailed, high-quality global mosaics of Pluto and Pluto's largest moon Charon, were assembled from nearly all of the highest-resolution images obtained by the Long-Range Reconnaissance Imager (LORRI) and the Multispectral Visible Imaging Camera (MVIC) on New Horizons. The mosaics are the most detailed and comprehensive global view yet of the surfaces of Pluto and Charon using New Horizons data. Standing out on Charon is an enormous trough at least 350 kilometers long, and reaching 14 kilometers deep - more than seven times as deep as the Grand Canyon. The mosaics are available in Equirectangular projection at an equatorial pixel scale of 300 meters per pixel.
