We will output maps using polar, mercator, cylindrical, and

being investigated, but will probably make use of HTML for
input/output to SQL/Prolog/F77/C programs that access the
database.
We plan to start making use of registered remote sensing
datasets for geological studies, rather than using the system
for just photometric image selection, and cartographic
purposes. For the testing of simple scientific hypotheses
against knowledge about a planet, this will be achieved with
the aid of Prolog logical facts and rules, and access to
registered datasets held within the database.

7. APPENDIX
In November 1996, Russian Mars 96 spacecraft will be
launched towards the planet Mars. Two German multiple line
scanners are on board: HRSC (High Resolution Stereo
Camera) and WAOSS (Wide Angle Optoelectronic Stereo
Scanner). Upon arrival in December 1997 the spacecraft will
enter a highly elliptical orbit around Mars, and the cameras
will obtain multiphase, colour, stereo images. During the
nominal mission (two Earth years), the expected planned
imaging of the surface by HRSC will be both global (at least
150m/pixel), and regional (50% of the surface at better than
60m/pixel, and 20% at better than 15 m/pixel) in resolution.
Global imagery will also be taken by WAOSS to monitor
temporal changes in the appearance of surface and
atmosphere.
It is expected that 20 GByte of raw compressed telemetry data
will be received from both cameras and the final processed
data products are likely to amount to 3.4 TByte in size. All
Mars 96 data will be archived under the management of the
SYBASE database system. Data formats of the Mars 96 data
will follow PDS (Planetary Data System) standards in terms
of logical and physical data structures, documentation, and
file naming conventions. It is planned that scientists will be
able to access an HRSC/WAOSS data catalog remotely via a
query program to view information, and to request data of
interest from the Regional Planetary Image Facility located
at the DLR Institute of Planetary Exploration, Berlin.
