What is JMARS?

From JMARS Wiki

JMARS (Java Mission-planning and Analysis for Remote Sensing) is a Java-based geospatial information system developed by the Mars Space Flight Facility at Arizona State University. This software is used for mission planning and scientific data analysis by several NASA missions, including Mars Odyssey, Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter and the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter.

JMARS can simultaneously display multiple datasets (such as maps, image footprints, numerical data products, etc) collected by instruments on most of NASA's current and past missions to Mars, such as:

2001 Mars Odyssey

Thermal Emission Imaging System (THEMIS)

• Infrared Global Mosaics (Day & Night)
• Visible Light Images and Footprints (18m & 36m resolution)

Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter

High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE)

• Visible Light Images and Footprints

Context Imager (CTX)

• Visible Light Images and Footprints

Compact Reconnaissance Imaging Spectrometer for Mars (CRISM)

• Observation Footprints

Mars Global Surveyor

• Thermal Emission Spectrometer (TES)

• Thermal Inertia Map
• Albedo Map
• Mineral Maps

• Mars Orbiter Camera (MOC)

• Wide-Angle Camera Map

• Mars Orbital Laser Altimeter (MOLA)

• Global Topography Maps (Shaded and Colorized)

Viking 1 & 2 Orbiters

• Infrared Themal Mapper (IRTM)

• Thermal Inertia Map
• Albedo Map

This list is only a small subset of the data available in JMARS. New datasets are also constantly being added from all these missions and instruments as new data is collected and existing data undergoes further processing and analysis.
