GIS
• Geographic Information Systems (GIS) is a method of computer mapping that links the mapped features to a database.
• The RGCPS houses a 6-computer GIS laboratory, where faculty, students, and visiting researchers can work on planetary mapping projects. Our goal is to provide GIS-ready datasets of the individual planetary bodies—those imaged by planetary missions—and give assistance to researchers in completing their own work.
• Installed on each computer is:
– ArcGIS Pro 3.3
• Other installed software:
– JMars – developed at the Mars Space Flight Facility

– Google Earth Pro – Import and export Earth-based GIS data

– Adobe Creative Suite 5: Acrobat, Illustrator, Photoshop
– Microsoft Office Suite
