Lines of longitude extend radially from the center and parallels of latitude are concentric circles around the center. In the north, Longitude 0 extends straight down from the center and Longitude 90 East extends to the right. In the south, Longitude 0 extends straight up from the center, and Longitude 90 East extends to the right. An ellipsoid has been adopted for Mars by the IAU with C=3376.2 and A=3396.19. The MOLA Team has approximated the ellipsoidal projection by adopting a spherical geometry with a polar radius of 3376.2 km, with a planetocentric spacing of 2^n pixels per degree at the pole. This can be converted to a nominal scale factor of 115.09 meters per pixel for 512 pixels per degree, 230.18 meters per pixel for 256 pixels per degree, and 460.36 meters per pixel for 128 pixels per degree. The transformation from line and sample coordinates to planetocentric latitude and longitude is given by these equations. X = (I - N/2 - 0.5)/RES Y = (J - N/2 - 0.5)/RES R = SQRT(X^2 + Y^2) LON = ATAN2(X,Y) * 180/PI LAT = 90 - 2*ATAN(R*PI/360) * 180/PI (northern hemisphere) LAT = -90 + 2*ATAN(R*PI/360) * 180/PI (southern hemisphere) where I = sample coordinate J = line coordinate X,Y = I,J converted to Cartesian coordinate system with 0,0 at center RES = the map resolution in pixels per degree N = the number of lines or samples per line in the image (the images are square) R = radius from center of map to pixel I,J LON = east longitude of pixel I,J in degrees LAT = latitude of pixel I,J in degrees Values for RES and N can be found in the image label as the keywords MAP_RESOLUTION and LINES.
