Planet Mappers: Mercury Edition

Map the surface of Mercury by marking and measuring craters and linear surface features in images from NASA's MESSENGER spacecraft. By mapping craters across the planet, we can start to piece together the global crater population and figure out what these new images are showing us about the solar system’s inner-most planet.本数据集通过对美国国家航空航天局（National Aeronautics and Space Administration, NASA）信使号（MESSENGER）航天器拍摄的影像中的撞击坑与线性地表特征进行标注与测量，完成水星表面的全域测绘工作。 通过对全水星范围内的撞击坑开展测绘，我们能够逐步整合全球撞击坑种群数据，并厘清这批新影像所揭示的这颗太阳系最内侧行星的相关科学信息。
