Overlay “Mars Express_Dust” / Overlay “Mercury_Messenger enhanced colors” / Overlay “Venus_Venera colors” Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, Mars Global Surveyor, Viking & Mars Express for Mars Magellan, Pioneer Venus and Venus Express for Venus They are extracted from datas sent back to Earth by the following probes : We have found more than forty scientific overlays that can be draped over the textures, as in VMA. Mercury albedo maps and Mars maps presenting the famous channels on it.Īnd for Mars, a texture showing the famous channels that Percival Lowell thought to have seen in his Flagstaff refractor. They have been adapted to VPA, so that its possible to compare these pioneers works with present datas.
We have also recovered maps presenting Comet Shoemaker - Levy impacts evolution on 1994, an exceptional event.Īs for VMA, we have recovered best digitized versions of old planetary maps of the public domain. This allows to follow zones and belts evolution on several years. We were able to recover Jupiter clouds maps taken by all the probes which crossed its orbit (Pioneer, Voyager, Cassini, New Horizons) and Damian Peach authorized us to use his annual clouds maps made from his marvellous images. We continue to search for new textures and adapt them for integrating them in VPA next versions. Please note, that we plan to introduce Saturn and its satellites in a future version.įor Jupiter, we use as basic texture, the one from Hubble Space Telescope in 2016.įor the galilean satellites, we use the one from Galileo and Voyager US probes.įor Mercury, we use as basic texture, the one from Messenger US probe.įor Venus, the one from Magellan US probeĪnd for Mars, the one from Viking US probe. We mainly used datas and pictures from NASA and ESA.īut we have also obtained the authorization to use textures realized by Bjorn Jonsson and Damian Peach (A great thank to them !) The zoom function has also be improved so that it's possible to display simultaneously Jupiter and its satellites according to the ephemerisis.Īs for Version 1.0, we have searched for the best digitized planetary global maps which were in the public domain.

This guarantees that Version 1.0 users will not be disturbed when discovering this new software (See screen capture picture above).Ī labels density cursor has been added and we have improved the “Configuration” menu since we have added a thumbnail to configure Jupiter Great Red Spot position.

We are pleased to announce you today that we put online the official Pro 2.0 version of VPA.įor this second version, JUPITER PLANET AND ITS FOUR GALILEAN SATELLITES have been added to the three planets yet integrated in version 1.0 ( Mercury, Venus & Mars ) since present technics of planetary imaging allow amateur astrophotographers to obtain details on surfaces of galilean satellites (Io, Ganymede…). More and more topographic and scientific datas become available for telluric planets and Solar System satellites, datas brought back by an increasing fleet of performing probes sent by the various space agencies (USA mainly, Europe and others). On 2014, we have presented the «Virtual Planets Atlas » (VPA) Version 1.0, the most complete planetary atlas for computers
