The results of radar mapping of the surface of Venus by the Venera-15 and Venera-16 spacecraft are discussed. A preliminary photographic map of the Maxwell mountains and adjecent area constructed from these radar images is presented. Twelve panoramas from the Venera-16 spacecraft obtained from 12 through 23 January 1984 were used to produce the images. The Central Scientific Research Institute of Geodosy, Aerial Surveying and Cartography referenced the panoramas and constructed the parallels and meridians on the maps. Coordinate construction was performed initially for each radar panorama; then, after averaging coordinates at common points, for the entire map. Equations allowing the transition to be made from measured spherical coordinates of points on the radar panorama for known moments in time to venerographic coordinates are presented. All necessary parameters are determined for computation of the coordinates of points on the terrain shown on the radar panoramas.
