Basemaps

Through the OpenPlanetaryMap project, we are designing and making accessible a collection of basemaps that can be used for the development of planetary web mapping applications. All our basemaps are currently XYZ-based Web Mercator projected tiles that can be fetched using web clients such as Leaflet, Google Maps, or OpenLayers.

OPM Moon Basemap v0.1

Multiple-Layer Raster

This basemap of the Moon in a combination of multiple raster and vector datasets that provides a characteristic view for a broader audience.

OPM Mars Basemap v0.2

Multiple-Layer Raster

This basemap of Mars in a combination of multiple raster and vector datasets that provides a characteristic view of the planet for a broader audience.

Moon Hillshaded Albedo

Single-Layer Raster

This basemap is a single raster layer blend between Lunar LOLA Hillshade and Albedo DAM map products.

Mars Viking MDIM2.1

Single-Layer Raster

This basemap is a single raster data layer based on Viking MDIM 2.1 dataset.
