Abstract

International Coordination of Planetary Coordinate System Recommendations and the IAU Working Group on Cartographic Coordinates and Rotational Elements

Highlights

  • In the remainder of this abstract and in much of our planned presentation we look to the future and highlight possible upcoming recommendations from the WGCCRE, consider possible future directions for cooperation with other organizations, and what future form the WGGCRE might take

  • We end by asking for input on these issues from the International Cartographic Association community

  • For further details on the WGCCRE and these issues, we direct the reader to the references just cited, our 2020 paper to the ISPRS Congress (Archinal et al, 2020), and a white paper submitted to the NASA Planetary Science and Astrobiology Decadal Survey 2023-2032 (Paganelli, et al, 2020)

Summary

Introduction

In the remainder of this abstract and in much of our planned presentation we look to the future and highlight possible upcoming recommendations from the WGCCRE, consider possible future directions for cooperation with other organizations, and what future form the WGGCRE might take. Addressing the future: The WGCCRE began in 1976 and, as part of the IAU, established fundamental principles regarding planetary coordinates and planetary mapping. What are the best methods for recording the fundamental parameters defining cartographic coordinates and rotational elements for planetary bodies?
