Summary of Project
Adapt the JPL WMS “onEarth” server technology to
serve Mars and Lunar data
Standardize the planetary coordinate and projection systems
with the OGC
Prepare and load selected Mars and Lunar data sets onto
“onMars” and “onMoon” servers at JPL
Develop WCS servers for Mars and Lunar data
Test servers with PDS Imaging Node @ USGS
Promote use of these servers by the Planetary Data
System and selected client applications

Accomplishments
Tasks completed to date
MDIM (version 2.1) and MOLA are loaded onto prototype “onMars”
WMS server
Clementine and Lunar DEM are loaded onto prototype “onMoon”
WMS server
Charter for Planetary Working group submitted to OGC
Planetary coordinate system standard in progress for proposal to
OGC in September
NASA’s JMARS (THEMIS planning tool) and USGS’s PIGWAD now
interoperate with “onMars” prototype server via OGC protocols
•
This is ahead of schedule due to expressed interest by JMARS
developers; JMARS will also be the orbital planning tool for HiRISE
Activities in progress
Release WMS server “onMars” after testing
Add Color MDIM
Add server functionality (colorize, band mix, transparency, stretches)

Plan for Remaining Years
Year Two
Add more data


Add MSS Atlas and THEMIS map to “onMars”
Add Lunar DEM, Clementine Mosaic, and multi-spectral Clementine data to
“onMoon”
Work standards with OGC
•
•
•
Post a Mars and Moon coordinate system encoding document with the OGC
Work on lunar projection system for a lunar server “onMoon”
Document and post SLD extensions used by the planetary WMS server with the
OGC
Increase server functionality
•
Enhance WMS server with SLD extensions
Year Three
Implement new WCS servers for Mars and the Moon
Move toward operations
•
•
•
Integrate both servers with USGS, ASU
Modify PIGWAD mapping demo with combined data from JPL and USGS
Propose for operational use with PDS

Two Working Hypotheses
Landing site selection is a perfect GIS application
Ability to overlay and combine data from multiple sensors in a
single coordinate system
•
e.g. satellite imagery and elevation, and vector features -- points
(craters), lines (structure, channels), polygons (geologic maps)
Automated geo-processing tools -- both standard and custom -- to
produce derived products and suitability maps
Ability to "publish" results and share and reproduce them on other
systems
Ability to web-enable the geo-processing model for ease of use
Data should be accessed from remote servers rather
than held locally
Assures most up-to-date data from servers
Alleviates local storage requirements

Objective I -- Remote Data Access
Design and implement
technology enabling
web access to the
required data sets on
demand

Objective II -- Site Screening
Build a locally-hosted screening model using
MDIM (Viking Mars Digital Image Mosaic)
MOLA
Roughness Returns (MOLA)
Thermal Inertia (TES)
To analyze for constraints of
Elevation & Latitude
Slopes at various wavelengths
Thermal inertia
And extend the ‘landing suitability’ analysis to a
‘targeting suitability’ analysis by incorporating the
targeting uncertainty ellipse

In Summary …
Planetary WMS/WCS data servers provide data that
are …
pre-processed, ortho-rectified, and standardized
accessible by simple web browsers
available to sophisticated GIS applications for mission
planning and science analysis
Serving these data from the archival source provides
value-added higher level data to the community in a
universally accepted standard
