This package contain the dataset for the geologic mapping of a region of asteroid Vesta named 'The Snowman'.
The dataset has been tested on QGIS version 3.34.2
The dataset has been tested on __QGIS version 3.34.2__.
This datapackage includes data from the NASA/Dawn mission to Vesta and Ceres:
- FC: image mosaic basemaps
- FC: topographic basemap
- FC: color map (RBG)
- VIR: spectral indexes for band center and depths for the pyroxene absorption bands
* NASA/Dawn/FC: image mosaic basemaps
* NASA/Dawn/FC: topographic basemap
* NASA/Dawn/FC: color map (RBG)
* NASA/Dawn/VIR: spectral indexes for band center and depths for the pyroxene absorption bands
## The geographic context
@@ -30,6 +31,10 @@ This dataset includes basemaps and data to do develop a geologic mapping project
The __coordinate reference system (CRS)__ for this data set is the [IAU_2015:20000041](https://spatialreference.org/ref/iau_2015/200000410/), indicating a [simple cylindrical projection](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equirectangular_projection) over a sphere with 255 km of radius.
## Training Material
Within the dataset, an exercise on geologic mapping is provided as contacts, linear and punctual features
