Abstract In preparation of the JUICE mission with the primary target Ganymede we generated a new controlled version of the global Ganymede image mosaic using a combination of Voyager 1 and 2 and Galileo images. Baseline for this work was the new 3D control point network from Zubarev et al.2016, which uses the best available images from both missions and led to new position and pointing of the images. Creating a global mosaic with these corrected images made it reasonable to decide for a higher map scale of the global mosaic as currently existing ones. Therefore, we included very high-resolved Galileo images that cover only a few percent of the surface but can be analyzed directly within their surrounding context. As a consequence, it supports the JUICE operations team during the planning of the Ganymede orbit phase at the end of the mission (Grasset et al., 2013).
