Scientific paper

The four Galilean satellites of Jupiter are being mapped using image data from the Voyager 1 and 2 spacecraft. The maps are published at several scales and in several versions. Preliminary maps at 1:25,000,000 - required for mission planning and preliminary science reports - were compiled with three weeks of data acquisition and have been published. Later maps incorporate photogrammetric triangulations. One of these, a color version of Io, has been completed at 1:25,000,000. The black-and-white versions are being produced at scales of 1:15,000,000, 1:5,000,000, and 1:2,000,000. The largest scale is applied only where the resolution justifies it. Although stereoscopic measurements were not possible, some relief information can be obtained from measurements of limb profiles and shadows.
