    The world's oldest mapping agency Ordnance Survey has mapped Mars, thinking that it could have potential applications for future space missions.
    Created using NASA open data, the map covers a 3672km x 2721km chunk of the Red Planet, has been produced to a scale of 1 to 4 million and even features a few of Mars’ scarce landmarks rendered in OS’ familiar style.
