The new Hypsometric Globe of Mars is based on laser altimeter data of Mars Global Surveyor spacecraft. The diameter of the globe is 21 cm. Coordinates and the heights of 64 800 points on the surface of Mars were used for creating a 3-D Model of the surface of Mars.. A digital model of the relief was constructed with ArcGIS software. Contour lines were added together with hill-shading on the globe. The names of the main features – lands, plateaus, mountains, lowlands – plains and also some large craters are labeled. The places of landing sites of the spacecrafts are shown.
