3-COLOR MESSENGER MDIS MAP PROJECTED MULTISPECTRAL RDR V1.0

This dataset includes 3-Color Multispectral Reduced Data Records for the WAC. The 3-Color Map Projected Multispectral RDR (MD3) data set consists of a 3-color map of northern and equatorial latitudes acquired during MESSENGER's Extended Mission, and includes I/F in the 3 filters used for this map.

This product has higher spatial resolution than, and complements, an 8-color multispectral map acquired during the primary mission. This product is photometrically normalized to a solar incidence angle (i) = 30 degrees, emission angle (e) = 0 degrees, and phase angle (g) = 30 degrees at a spatial sampling of 128 pixels per degree. The map is divided into 'tiles', each representing the NW, NE, SW, or SE quadrant of one of the 13 non-polar or one of the 2 polar quadrangles or 'Mercury charts' already defined by the USGS.
