Default Moon features GIS database


Looking for a (GIS) database of lunar features.
Locations of craters, mares, highland areas, rilles,
rays etc.
Mainly any freely available on the net.

Any level of sophistication of database of interest.
As it is to be used in a custom made computer program,
it need not to convert to any specific standard.
Location coordinates, (+height), radius (crater),
type of feature, could do.

Would also be interested in the same for the Earth and
Mars. Other planets, other solar system bodies could also be of
interest.

Regards,
Bjørn Sørheim

See this:

"Absolutely fascinating - how I wish some of my long-gone BAA friends could
have lived to see it. My Congratulations!"

Good luck

The planetarynames site is a very good resource for craters
and most mares!
However for rilles and lineations, the supplied 'radius' also
for all other features than craters is not very useful
when using in a GIS drawing application!

Anyway, thanks for the links,
