This add-on will give you a base on Mars, displaying the actual terrain around Carl Sagan Memorial Station.
This is the location of the Mars Pathfinder Mission (19.13°, −33.22°).
The terrain was derived using a simple photoclinometry software that I wrote, and with some hand cleanup based on available data.
Remember that the area is very flat and that the highest point (Twin Peaks) is about 35 meters high.
The add-on features lander + rover models by Nick Oberg.
A invisible landing pad is located where the mesh intersects Orbiter’s surface at zero altitude and close to the historical landing site.
Attention: Orbiter’s “mars_probes.mkr” marker file is corrected to reflect the actual landing site coordinates. Please backup the original.
