We have developed a full-featured, geographic information system for Mars that provides an easy to use, intuitive interface to remote sensing data, including data from THEMIS, MOC, MOLA, TES and Viking. Using a layer-based GUI, users can browse more than 2TB of projected and co-registered maps and images, and composite them along with their own local data products into 2-D and 3-D scenes. Analysis tools allow for various functions such as extracting quantitative values (temperature, thermal inertia, albedo, elevation, etc), viewing, editing and creating shape files, and measuring distances and areas. These products can be individually stretched and colorized, blended and mosaiced, draped over topography for 3-D visualization and exported in a georeferenced format. The client application is available for download from the Internet (http://jmars.asu.edu), or by CD-ROM. Unlike any of the web-based interfaces that are available to browse Mars data, this application can provide a number of useful features even without Internet access, making it useful for both the professional planetary scientist and in the K-12 and higher education environments. This project represents more than 16 man-years of development, supported by the NASA Mars Odyssey and Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter missions, and the ASU Planetary Imaging and Analysis Facility and Advanced Training Institute (PIAFATI).
