1 Hi-resolution Solar System textures for SpaceEngine 0.98 These addons Solar System HD and Solar System Ultra contains hi-resolution maps of some planets, moons and asteroids of the Solar System. The maps are in lossless PNG format, some elevation (bump) maps are in lossless 16- bit PNG format. Some maps do not increase level of detail of worlds represented in SpaceEngine by default, but replaces them with the lossless data. The largest planet datasets (terrestrial worlds including Mercury, Venus, Earth, Moon and Mars) in the Solar System HD addon have slightly reduced level of detail compared to the maximum available data. While converting source dataset to SpaceEngine format, the latest levels are usually upscaled compared to original data, so no additional information were provided. For example, Earth BMNG dataset have a resolution of 86400x43200 pixels, while SpaceEngine requires power-of-two texture size; so original map was upscaled to x The total amount of data is 11.5 GB, in which 7.3 GB are corresponds the last levels, which have upscaled data. Because they don t increase terrain quality very much they were excluded from this addon and moved into a separate addon Solar System Ultra. If you need the fullest datasets for all planets, download both Solar System HD and Solar System Ultra addons. Venus has an even larger surface map dataset equivalent to 256k map, but it has only a slightly better resolution than the 128k map ( vs pixels along equator), so only 128k map is included. The rest of this document describes the data used in this addon, achieved spatial resolution and credits info. Solar System HD 63 files, 16.7 GB Solar System Ultra 18 files, 28.6 GB Mercury 32k elevation map MESSENGER MLA Cubemap, PAK files with lossless 16-bit PNG images. Original dataset: 23040x11520, effective resolution ~0.66 km/pix. Solar System HD: upscaled to 32768x16384 (6x8192x8192), ~0.448 km/pix. Original DEM have better quality in the north hemisphere of the planet, because MESSENGER spacecraft has elongated orbit. Mercury-Bump-HD-16k.pak 652 MB, Solar System HD Mercury-Bump-HD-32k.pak Mercury 128k surface map MESSENGER PDS mosaic Original dataset: 92160x46080, effective resolution ~0.165 km/pix. Solar System HD: reduced to 65536x32768 (6x16384x16384), ~0.224 km/pix. Solar System Ultra: upscaled to x65536 (6x32767x32768), ~0.117 km/pix.

2 Venus 128k elevation map Magellan GTDR, Magellan C1-MIDR Cubemap, PAK files with lossless 16-bit PNG images. Original dataset: 8192x4096, effective resolution ~4.6 km/pix. Solar System HD: upscaled to 65536x32768 (6x16384x16384), ~0.58 km/pix. Solar System Ultra: upscaled to x65536 (6x32767x32768), ~0.29 km/pix. Fake high-resolution elevation map. Original Magellan GTDR map has a very poor resolution of 8192x4096 pixels, yields to ~4.6 km per pixel effective surface resolution. It also have huge gaps. Gaps was repaired using data from the neighboring places, then map was upscaled to 128k resolution and modulated with the 128k surface map data to add a high-frequency details.
