This
sheet is one in a series of maps of the Galilean satellites of Jupiter at
a nominal scale of 1:15,000,000. This series is based on data from the Galileo
Orbiter Solid-State Imaging (SSI) camera and the Voyager 1 and 2 spacecraft. |
Mercator
and Polar Stereographic projections used for this map of Europa are based
on a sphere having a radius of 1,562.09 km. The scale is 1:8,388,000 at
±56° latitude for both projections. Longitude increases to the
west in accordance with the International Astronomical Union. |
This
global map base uses the best image quality and moderate resolution coverage
supplied by Galileo SSI and Voyager 1 and 2. |
