JETT5 maps

May 2024 (approx.)

Detailed Description

The JETT5 science team created maps of primary and backup landing sites in the SP region. The San Francisco Volcanic Field was chosen for these activities for its lunar-like terrain, which is known as an analog field site. These maps were used in the Science Evaluation Room (SER), in Houston, during the training exercise and by the astronauts in the field. Historically, USGS have created detailed maps that aid our understanding and study of planetary bodies, including Earth.
