MATISSE is the web based tool developed by SSDC SSE designed to access and visualize planetary exploration data.
In particular it provides direct visualization of high order products, such as mosaics and ratios, over 3D shape models
of selected targets, making scientific analysis easy, fast and accurate.
The ultimate aim of the tool is to enable "data fusion" in the planetary sciences, by means of an Intelligent Archive which is currently under development.
Thanks to MATISSE the scientific capabilities of each mission could be enhanced by combining observations
taken by various instruments, studying different aspects of the same target.
MATISSE 2.0 is now available, with the addition of noteworthy features.
However we are still collaborating with the scientific teams of the instruments involved to add other useful tasks to MATISSE in the near future.
