A detailed planetary atlas with 3D views, globe and NASA photos, offering a wealth of information about the red planet!
- Planetary facts: This CD-ROM provides detailed information about the atmosphere, weather, surface structure and geology of Mars. Clear tables make the extensive astrophysical data easy to understand. Over 500 images illustrate the individual thematic units. The image gallery presents the most beautiful photographs of the red planet in an impressive way.
- Mars globe: The models of Mars and its two moons, Deimos and Phobos, are based on the best surface maps currently available and have a resolution of one kilometre! A topographical and a terraformed map allow additional spectacular views of Mars. Seven selected regions, such as Olympus Mons, can be explored in horizontal view using 3D flight simulation.
- Discovery and research: From historical astronomers to the Mariner, Viking and Pathfinder expeditions to Mars, all historical developments and events surrounding the discovery of Mars are documented. A special feature reveals the secrets and phenomena of the red planet, such as the face on the surface of Mars. An outlook presents all future Mars missions and shows one possibility of how the planet could be transformed by humans (terraforming).
A very nice introduction and compilation of facts about our outer neighbour.
