Dataset Documentation FROST: Features Relevant to Ocean Worlds Surface Terrain

2019 
We present an analog dataset that provides examples of possible terrain features, geometry, and appearance at the 1-10cm scale on ocean worlds/icy moons such as Europa, Enceladus, and Pluto. The motivation for collecting this dataset was a lack of available high-resolution digital models suitable for development of surface missions to these bodies, including use for simulation of mechanics, sampling, and imaging. NASA field opportunities to Death Valley, California and the Atacama Desert, Chile were leveraged in order to observe and record analog sites.
