  Description:

    Abstract:

      Ganymede is the largest of the Jovian satellites. Its

      density of 1.9 g/cm 3 (Morrison, 1982) and surface

      composition of water ice (Pilcher and others, 1972),

      combined with inferences from cosmochemical (Consolmagno

      and Lewis, 1976a) and thermal models (Consolmagno and

      Lewis, 1976b), suggest that Ganymede has a core composed of

      silicates and a mantle and crust largely composed of water

      ice. Imaging by two Voyager spacecraft, locally at

      resolutions of less than 1 km/picture element, showed that

      the surface is about equally divided into dark and light

      terrains, the dark terrain having an average albedo of

      0.35, the light terrain of 0.44 (Squyres and Veverka, 1981).

    Purpose:

    Supplemental_Information:

      The Memphis Facula (Memphis 'Bright Spot') quadrangle

      occupies a sector of Ganymede that is shared by the

      hemispheres that are antipodal to Jupiter and leading in

      Ganymede's orbit. lt is covered by Voyager 2

      high-resolution images, the best of which, near the east

      margin of the contiguously mapped area, have resolutions of

      less than 1 km/picture element. These images are also near

      the terminator and give good morphologic information

      because of accentuation by shadows. Images near the west

      margin of the map area have higher sun angles and are more

      suitable for albedo information.
