Scientific paper
The Mariner 10 spacecraft, its scientific mission, and surface mapping techniques are described as well as the topographic features of the planet Mercury as photographed by television cameras during three flyby encounters. Shaded relief maps and a computer generated photomosaic of 9 of the 15 cartographic regions are presented. Subsequent material in the atlas includes enlargements of portions of the photomosaics, individual high resolution pictures, mosaics of small areas, and stereo pairs located within the boundaries of the cartographic regions. Footprint locations of individual pictures and stereo pairs are plotted on the shaded relief maps. Current values of the more important orbital and physical properties of Mercury are presented in tables.
