Scientific paper
A major objective of the present review paper is to characterize planetary photogeology as a scientific discipline. Another objective is to identify the more significant problems for future analysis and to review systematically the literature over the past few years. The topics covered include Ranger, Surveyor, and Lunar Orbiter data; crater and basin morphology; geologic mapping; integration of remote-sensing observations; the history of mare volcanism; and crater distribution and ages. Mariner and Viking photographs of some Martian features, features of the Martian satellites Phobos and Deimos, and features of Mercury and the Jovian satellites Io and Ganymede are given and discussed.
