2 Introducing the Mapping and Planetary Spatial Infrastructure Team Mosaics, geologic maps, derived regional and global data products, and associated geospatial infrastructure are integral to the success of planetary science Influences all phases of the mission lifecycle for science investigations and operations Strategic needs must be anticipated and prioritized by the community PSS recommended a Cartography Research and Analysis Group [CRAG] in Fall A team fulfilling this role now exists in the form of MAPSIT MAPSIT succeeds former PCGMWG and assumes strategic planning role

3 Enabling Planetary Science Planetary Spatial Infrastructure is the technology, policies, standards, human resources, software tools, and related activities necessary to acquire, process, distribute, use, maintain, and preserve planetary spatial data for science and exploration Geographic Information Science and Technology Includes: Analytical Methods Geocomputation Geospatial data collection and formats Cartography and visualization

4 Planetary Spatial Data Infrastructure Strategic Plan Problem: A strategic plan for planetary geospatial infrastructure has not been generated in a decade Solution: MAPSIT is leading the synthesis of the Planetary Spatial Data Infrastructure Strategic Plan [PSDSP]

5 Navigating a new path

6 PSDIP Fundamental Data Themes Digital Ortho Imagery and Data Example M 3, LROC NAC, LROC WAC, HiRISE Elevation Example Venus Magellan SAR Geodetic Control Common reference system for establishing coordinates for all geographic data Geologic Maps Geophysical Data Example GRAIL, MRO, MESSENGER Exploration-enabling Resources Example Solar Illumination Maps Others?

7 PSDIP Path I: Capabilities Acquisition Technologies Examples: Mission planning, traverse planning Processing Technologies Examples: Images, radar, LIDAR, DTM production Distribution technologies Examples: Database, search, WMS Use Technologies Examples: Data fusion, visualization Maintenance Technologies Example: Geometry (SPICE) Preservation technologies Example: Historical archives, data, and analytical tools

8 PDSIP Path II: Policies Solicitation of Community Input Collation of needs Prioritization of needs Publication of findings and recommendations Open, transparent process with full community investment

9 PDSIP Path III: Standards Nomenclature Geodesy Camera Models (e.g., Community Sensor Model) Data validation methodologies Calibration Symbology Data Formats Data Portals Data Processing Data acquisition

10 PDSIP Path IV: Human Resources Community training Knowledge Transfer Knowledge Capture Institutional collaboration Curriculum development Communications and Public Engagement

11 What is next? Comprehensive PSDSP Community Stakeholder Input Process Begins NOW!!* *Well, actually, tomorrow: MAPSIT Town Hall Steering Committee will identify team leads to shepherd document generation Community surveys for stakeholder input Target: PSDSP Delivery by end CY2016 But: living document (like LER) that the community maintains thereafter! Goal is a is a readable, comprehensive document to inform decision-making

12 This sounds great! How do I help? Good question! I m so glad you asked! Action item for everyone: Start thinking about these themes today! Who wants to help? One idea: Prioritize based on needed investments Narrow Scope PI-led projects that meet a specific need for incremental advancement Wide Scope Sustainable, cross-domain frameworks that support broader communities Flagship Scope Foundational cross-domain framework essential for entire community and data stewardship The process begins tomorrow! (Noon, Waterway 6)

13 Conclusions We need a community-invested set of goals that summarizes the narrow, wide, and flagship scope planetary spatial data infrastructure needs of NASA and its planetary science community MAPSIT is leading the way! Community will play a critical role in the development, execution, and maintenance of this plan Watch for those surveys! Planetary Data Infrastructure Posters TOMORROW!
