NASA has published a map capturing a cultural perspective of locations in the solar system and points beyond.
The map was produced by Bryce Space and Technology under contract with NASA’s Space Technology Mission Directorate for the Directorate’s Emerging Space Office.
Bold and broad
This map is unique in that it is not science or engineering-focused. The wall chart is bold in vision and broad in scope, designed to elicit discussion at the agency’s highest levels when it comes to thinking about our future in space.
The map’s emphasis is on three parts of human geography: strategic geography (control of, or access to, spatial areas that have an impact on the security and prosperity of nations), economic geography (patterns of trade and finance, infrastructure and facilities that contribute to the economy of a region), and social geography (interaction of social processes, cultural products and norms and their variations).
