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.

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.
