Abstract
The paper presents the method for creating a low distortion conformal projection of a triaxial ellipsoid. The projection is based on Chebyshev’s theorem, according to which the lowest distortions are found in those conformal projections, in which the linear scale distortion of the closed boundary of the projected area is constant. The Authors derived formulae for conformal coordinates on a triaxial ellipsoid and provided a brief description of the method of determining the power series coefficients of the complex variable that approximate the projection that meets Chebyshev’s criterion. The results of test calculations based on the projection of the Stickney crater on Phobos (one of the satellites of Mars) were also presented.
