Post Body

The USGS has released the digital terrain models and orthomosaics that Mars 2020 will use to orient itself and land safely in Jezero Crater. The maps are made using data from the CTX camera on the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter:

There is another set of terrain model mosaics and orthomosaics made from HiRISE images that were used by JPL to create the hazard maps that are stored on the spacecraft:
