 Description:
 Abstract:
 Ganymede is the largest known satellite in the Solar System
 and the third Galilean satellite outward from Jupiter. Its
 density (1.93 g/cm 3 ) and surface spectral characteristics
 indicate that its bulk composition is about half water ice
 and half rocky material, presumably of carbonaceous
 chondritic composition (Morrison, 1982). Thus Ganymede is
 the largest Solar System object classified as an icy satellite.
 Purpose:
 Supplemental_Information:
 The Tiamat Sulcus quadrangle lies in the equatorial region
 of Ganymede’s anti-Jovian hemisphere. The best images of
 the west half of the quadrangle are low-resolution frames
 (»30 km per pixel) obtained by Voyager 1 in March 1979,
 whereas substantially higher resolution images (»1.6 km per
 pixel) were obtained of the east third by Voyager 2
 in July 1979.

DATA_QUALITY_INFORMATION

 
 
 Attribute_Accuracy:
 Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
 All attributes created during the creation process were
 verified by displaying the lines in both the database and
  the spatial coverage, but no formal tests were performed.
 Logical_Consistency_Report:
 These data are believed to be logically consistent, though
 no tests were performed. Line geometry is topologically clean.
