The Need for Recommendations in Support of Planetary Bodies Cartographic Coordinates and Rotational Elements Standards
This paper recommends that the Planetary Science Decadal and Astrobiology Decadal Survey committee should endorse the value of cartographic standards, as provided by the International Astronomical Union Working Group on Cartographic Coordinates and Rotational Elements (WGCCRE), to achieve the benefits of enhanced return from planetary science data.
