Mars3D Viewer
About

Mars3D Viewer allows you to examine a variety of Martian features. They are rendered accurately using altimetry data from NASA's MGS satellite and photographic images from the Viking missions. A number of models can be downloaded including Olympus Mons, the highest volcano in the solar system and Valles Marineris, a 4000km long canyon.

Download

First download the viewer software, Mars3D Viewer (126Kb)

Unzip all the files to a new folder making sure the 'Use folder names' checkbox is ticked

Then download and install at least one of the datasets below:

Title Dataset Texture
Mars Globe 3.1Mb 4.3Mb
Olympus Mons 1.0Mb 1.2Mb
Valles Marineris 2.3Mb 3.2Mb
North Pole 1.2Mb 1.9Mb
Tharsis Montes 2.8Mb N/A
Gusev Crater (Spirit) 0.8Mb N/A
Hematite (Opportunity) 0.6Mb N/A

To install a dataset or texture, unzip the files to the output folder which was created when you installed the Viewer.

The software must be installed to a folder path of less than 40 characters in length. I will fix this in a future version.
