Status Report:

We can read in the binary data from a single orbit from the Magellan Mission and view it as greyscale images.

We're currently researching leads on what to do next. There are existing tools for generating DEMs, but would not be directly compatible with the Magellan data. There's also existing work on the Magellan data we could improve on. Finally, there are tools to create DEMs used for later planetary missions; perhaps we could make use of those by making them compatible with magellan data.
