After traveling more than 1.5 billion km (948 million mi.), the Magellan spacecraft was inserted into orbit around Venus on Aug. 10, 1990.  This mosaic consists of adjacent pieces of two magellan image strips obtained in the first radar test.  The radar test was part of a planned In-Orbit Checkout sequence designed to prepare the magellan spacecraft and radar to begin mapping after Aug. 31.  The strip on the left was returned to the Goldstone Deep Space Network station in California; the strip to the right was received at the DSN in Canberra, Australia.  A third station that will be receiving Magellan data is locaterd near Madrid, Spain.  Each image strip is 20 km (12 mi.) wide and 16,000 km (10,000 mi.) long.  This mosaic is a small portion 80 km (50 mi.) long.  This image is centered at 21 degrees north latitude and 286.8 degrees east longitude, southeast of a volcanic highland region called Beta Regio.  The resolution of the image is about 120 meters (400 feet), 10 times better than revious images of the same area of Venus, revealing many new geologic features.  The bright line trending northwest-southeast across the center of the image is a fracture or fault zone cutting the volcanic plains.  In the upper lest corner of the image, a multiple-ring circular feature of probable volcanic origin can be seen,  approx. 4.27 km (2.65 mi.) across.  The bright and dark variations seen in the plains surrounding these features correspond to volcanic lava flows of varying ages.  The volcanic lava flows in the southern half of the image have been cut by north-south trending faults.  This area is similar geologically to volcanic deposits seen on Earth at Hawaii and the Snake River Plains in Idaho. ARC-1990-A90-3000

This portion of a Magellan radar image strip shows a small region on Venus 20 km (12.4 mi.) wide and 75 km (50 mi.) long on the east flank of a major volcanic upland called Beta Regio.  The image is centerd at 23 degrees north latitude and 286.7 degrees east longitude.  The ridge and valley networkin the middle part of the image is formed by intersection faults which have broken the Venusian crust into a clomplex, deformed type of surface called tessera, the Latin word for tile.  The parallel  mountains and valleys resemble the Basin and Range Province in the western United States.  The irregular dark patch near the top of the image is a smooth surface, probably formed by lava flows in a region about 10 km (6 mi.) across.  Similar dark surfaces within the valleys indicate lava flows that are younger than the tessera giving an indication of the geologic time relationships of the events that formed the present surface.  The image has a resolution of 120 meters (400 feet). ARC-1990-A90-3001

This image shows a comparison between a Magellan image (right) and the highest resolution Earth-based radar image of Venus, obtained by the US National Astronomy and Ionosphere Center's Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico.  The small white bot in the Arecibo image on the left corresponds to the Magellan image.  This portion of a Magellan radar image strip shows a small region on the east flank of a major volcanic upland called Beta Regio.  The image is centered a t 23 degrees north latitude and 286.7 degrees east longitude.  The ridge and valley network in the middle part of the image is formed by intersecting faults which have broken the Venusian crust into a complex deformed type of surface called tessera, the Latin word for tile.  The parallel mountains and valleys resemble the Basin and Range Province kn the western United States.  The irregular dark patch near the top of the image is a smooth surface, proboably formed by lava flows in a region about 10 km (6 mi.) across.  Similar dark surfaces within the valleys indicate lava flows that are younger than the tessera.  The Arecibo image contains probable impact craters, mapped in detail by Magellan.  The Magellan image has a resolution of 120 meters, (400 feet).  The image segment is 20 km (12.4 mi.) wide adn 150 km (90 mi.) long.  The Arecibo image has a resolution of 1-3 km (0.6-1.8 mi.) and is approx. 900 km (550 mi.) across. ARC-1990-A90-3002

This Magellan image mosaic shows the impact crater Golubkina, first identified in Soviet Venera 15/16 data.  The crater is names after Anna Golubkina (1864-1927), a Soviet sculptor.  The crater is about 34 km (20.4 mi.) across, similar to the size of the West Clearwater impact structure in Canada.  The crater Golubkina is located at about 60.5 degrees north latitude, 286.7 degrees est longitude.  Magellan data reveal that Golubkina has many characteristics typical of craters formed by a mereorite impact including terraced inner walls, a central peak, and radar-bright rough ejecta surrounding the crater.  The extreme darkness of the crater floor indicates a smooth surface, perhaps formed by the ponding of lava flows in the crater floor as seen in may lunar impact craters.  The radar-bright ejecta surrounding the crater indicates a relatively fresh or young crater.  Craters with centeral peaks in the Soviet data range in size from about 10-60 km (6-36 mi.) across.  The largest crater identifed in the Soviet Venera data is 140 km (84 mi) in diameter.  This Magellan image strip in approx. 100 km (62 mi.) long.  The image is a mosaic of two orbits obtained in the first Magellan radar test and played back to Earth to the Deep Space Network stations near Goldstone, CA and Canberra, Australia, respectively.  The resolution of this image is approximately 120 meters (400 feet).  The see-saw margins result from the offset of individual radar frames obtained along the orbit.  The spacecraft moved from the north (top) to the south, looking to the left. ARC-1990-A90-3003

This Magellan image mosaic shows the impact crater Golubkina, first identified in Soviet Venera 15/16 data. The crater is names after Anna Golubkina (1864-1927), a Soviet sculptor. The crater is about 34 km (... More

This image of the Venusian crater Golubkina, a 34-km (20.4 mi.) diameter impact crater located at about 60.5 degrees north latitude, 287.2 degrees east longitude, contains Magellan data mosaicked with a Soviet Venera 15/16 radar image of the sames feature.  The Magellan part of the image (right) reveals details of the geology of the crater such as the central peak, the inner terraced walls, and the extremely smooth floor of the crater.  The smoothness of the floor may be due to ponding of volcanic lava flows in the crater floor.  The rough, blocky morphology of the crater ejecta and the sharp terraced crater wall suggest that this feature is relatively young. ARC-1990-A90-3006

Two mosaicked pieces of Magellan image strips display the area east of the Rhea Mons volcano on Venus.  This image is centered at about 32.5 degrees north latitude and 286.6 degrees east longitude.  The mosaic is 47 km (28 mi.) wide and 135 km (81 mi.) long.  This region has been previously identified as 'tessera'from Earth-based radar (Arecibo) images.  The center of the image is dominated by a network of intersection ridges and valleys.  The radar-bright north-south trending features in this image range from 1 km (0.6 mi.) to 3 km (1.8 mi.) in length.  The average spacing between these ridges is about 1.5 km (0.9 mi.).  The dark patches at the top of the image are smooth surfaces and may be lava flows located in lowlands between the higher ridge and the valley terrain.  This image is a mosaic of two orbits obtained in the first Magellan stations near Goldstone, CA and Canberra, Australia.  The resolution of this image is approx. 120 meters (400 feet).
