Map Projections in Planetary Cartography

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Choosing a Map Projection

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Geoinformation and Cartography ((ICA))

Abstract

Reference surfaces, coordinate systems and projections are the prerequisites for the geospatial analysis of planetary surfaces. In the followings we discuss how these parameters are defined and used on different types of planetary bodies, including rocky planets, satellites, irregular bodies and gas giants.
