Nikolas Schiller (1980– ), Arabesque maps composed of kaleidoscopic aerial photographs; John C. Sherman (1916–1996) Jessamine Shumate (1902–1990) Kira B. Shingareva (Russia, 1938–2013), first person to successfully map the dark side of the moon; John P. Snyder (1926–1997), developed the space oblique Mercator projection
The Lambert azimuthal projection is used as a map projection in cartography. For example, the National Atlas of the US uses a Lambert azimuthal equal-area projection to display information in the online Map Maker application, [3] and the European Environment Agency recommends its usage for European mapping for statistical analysis and display. [4]
When making a conic map, the map maker arbitrarily picks two standard parallels. Those standard parallels may be visualized as secant lines where the cone intersects the globe—or, if the map maker chooses the same parallel twice, as the tangent line where the cone is tangent to the globe. The resulting conic map has low distortion in scale ...
The mapmaker must choose a suitable map projection according to the space to be mapped and the purpose of the map; this decision process becomes increasingly important as the scope of the map increases; while a variety of projections would be indistinguishable on a city street map, there are dozens of drastically different ways of projecting ...

The Map workshop page can be used to add your map requests and your sources. A graphist will create the requested map. The page is forum-based, to enable cross-teaching conversations to take place. The Resources page provides advice to both beginners (in the form of tutorials) and experienced map-makers.
The services provided by SPACEMAP are based on using dynamic Voronoi diagrams to predict satellite orbits with the aim of enhancing space mission safety and efficiency. [6] For complex problems involving many moving points, Voronoi diagrams maintain a near-constant computation time regardless of the number of points involved. [ 7 ]
