Abstract

The first flyby of Mars was made by the Soviet Mars 1, launched from Baikonur Cosmodrome on 1st November 1962. The first soft landing was made by Mars 3. In 1977, TsNIIGAiK published Map of a Region of Mars at 1:5,000,000 scale in normal conical conformal Lambert–Gaussian projection based of phototelevision images from Mars 4 and Mars 5. A collective of geologists compiled geomorphologic and tectonic maps of Mars at 1:20,000,000 scale in 1981. They used Topographic Map of Mars issued by the USGS in 1976 as the geographical basis. In 1989, a small production run of Mars globes of 34 cm diameter was produced, followed by a 10,000 unit production at 26 cm diameter. A Hypsometric Map of Mars at scale 1:26,000,000 was compiled using Mars Global Surveyor MOLA altimetry in 2004. The Hypsometric Globes of Mars of diameter 21 and 15 cm were compiled using the thermoplastic production process.
