Mapping and Planetary Spatial Infrastructures Team (MAPSIT)

The acquisition, organization and analysis of planetary spatial data, including images, cartography and geologic mapping is critical for linking science investigation and exploration planning for all solid bodies in the Solar System. The Mapping and Planetary Spatial Infrastructure Team (MAPSIT) is a community-based, interdisciplinary forum for the discussion, analysis, and representation of matters concerning the creation and development of planetary geographic information and cartographic products, a program of sustained planetary geologic mapping, and the tools necessary for these capabilities. MAPSIT ensures that publicly-funded planetary data is usable for any conceivable purpose, now or in the future, by the scientific and engineering communities.
