Scientific paper

The current appearance and past geological evolution of the Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, and the satellites of Jupiter and Saturn are reviewed based on remote sensing measurements, primarily images taken by cameras during planetary exploration. Examples of planetary imagery, and of topographic and thematic maps are given, with emphasis on Mars and the moons of Jupiter and Saturn. The present status of the American planetary cartography program is discussed in the context of its application to planetological research. The system of orientation of the planetary objects for astronomical and cartographic purposes is described. Examples of multispectral images show that difference in surface material composition can be visualized.
