Data Set Overview : This data set collects the maps of small solar system bodies prepared by Phil Stooke of the University of Western Ontario. 203 map sheets are included, some based on photomosaics from spacecraft images and some based on shaded relief maps prepared from spacecraft images. For these maps, the prime meridian is defined according to the existing literature for each body. For all synchronously rotating satellites (Phobos, Deimos, Amalthea, etc.) the prime meridian faces the primary planet. For Gaspra, Ida, and any other objects not in synchronous rotation, the prime meridian is that used in the basic descriptive papers by Peter Thomas and colleagues for each body, and given in the IAU Working Group on Rotational Elements and Cartographic Coordinates triennial reports. Longitudes in every case increase in the direction opposite to rotation. Data : The map sheets are provided as jpeg files, supported by an html browse interface and index listing the parameters describing each map. The information in the browse interface and index was provided to PDS by Phil Stooke. Note that the map files in the data set are presented in the documentation directory, rather than the data directory, because they are visualizations rather than raw science data. The data directory contains only a flat text file with the map index listing. Publications describing the preparation of the maps include: Stooke, P.J. 1986. Automated cartography of non-spherical worlds. In the Proceedings of the 2nd International Symposium on Spatial Data Handling, International Geographical Union, pp. 523-536.

| ABSTRACT_TEXT |
The Stooke Small Bodies Map collection contains maps of small solar system bodies in various projections, with and without latitude/longiude grids. The maps are based on the best available mission data for each object. The collection includes four asteroids: 243 Ida, 253 Mathilde, 433 Eros (pre-NEAR encounter) and 951 Gaspra; and five moons: J5 Amalthea, M1 Phobos, M2 Deimos, S7 Hyperion and S11 Epimetheus. The maps are in JPEG format and are presented as a document collection. The science data directory contains only a map list.
