Description: Renders non-Earth map datasets
A Web Map Service (WMS) implementation, much like MapServer and GeoServer.
It solves issues with rendering global non-Earth datasets. It has fast and
accurate rendering of global datasets, support for the JMARS projection,
for IAU2000 spatial reference systems and accurate rendering of non-linear
projections.
It uses the LROC Science Operations Center (SOC) which maintains a global
dataset that has a released size of over 200TB and continues to grow.
Lunaserv supports multiple planetary bodies at the same time and can
render the following layer types:
Raster basemaps
Vector (db, flat file, or shapefile)
Day/night shading
Annotation
Grid
Topography based illumination
Raster footprints
Numeric (JMARS only)
Lunaserv also includes a configurable WMS front-end that supports
switching planetary bodies and projections on the fly. This interface uses
OpenLayers as the map request/layout engine with some extra code to
support projection changing and reading layer configurations from a YAML
configuration file. The configuration file can specify one or more
planetary bodies, projections, and a variety of layer options for each
body.
It appears to bundle jquery, OpenLayers (BSD license), js-yaml,
jquery-ui-touch-punch (MIT or GPLv2)... See COPYING. It's split into
multiple archives some described as having certain sections so not
everything in COPYING s included in every archive.
