This map was created as a result of the findings of the Tianwen-1 mission, named after a Mars probe launched in 2020 by the Chinese National Space Administration. The map was produced from thousands of high-precision images taken both above and below the surface of the “red planet.” With a resolution of around 76 metres per pixel, it surpasses all previous maps of its kind in terms of detail, and will serve as a new reference for future exploration of Mars and related research.
The images used in putting together the map provide valuable information on the topography and geological structure of the Martian surface. Once the poorest-quality images had been eliminated, some 10,572 good-quality images were selected, covering the entire Martian surface, with resolutions ranging from 57 to 120 metres per pixel, averaging 76 m/pixel. After ensuring colour uniformity, the images were assembled into a visual cartographic representation in Robinson projection .
