Google Maps

Can Google Maps for Space Exploration be defined similar to our planet Earth? I.e Planet Mars exploration, Moon exploration, International Space Station (ISS) journey and other planets of the Solar System.

I.e Plotting Maps for visiting Mars, Moon, ISS & other Planets of the Solar System.

Map will show Manned and UnManned Crew Spaceship / SpaceShuttle, Distance, Route, Space points, Shortest distance available to reach the destination from Planet Earth.

If Yes, Are they publicly accessible on the "World Wide Web"?

If Not, Will this be considered as a Science Fiction Novel to be written for the Topic "Google Maps for Space exploration"?

[...] Distance, Route, Space points, Shortest distance available to reach the destination from Planet Earth.

For this purpose, space maps tend to be more abstract. If they weren't, solar system maps would be mostly solid black with solar system objects as single pixels.

One such kind abstract map is delta-v maps. They show how expensive it is to get from one location to another using rocket power. "how expensive" here means how much the spacecraft must change its own velocity, which is what rockets use their fuel for.

Space maps are all about numbers. Sometimes there are only numbers.

How to use: add up the numbers along the path from origin to destination. If a segment has an arrow, you can go in the direction of the arrow for free by braking in an atmosphere

    $\begingroup$ @Cadence It’s still probably preferable to braking in the ground. $\endgroup$

Google Earth Pro already includes the Moon and Mars.

I don't think it covers traveling there though.

    $\begingroup$ There is also a web version for the moon: google.com/moon Back in the days, when zooming in, on the most refined level it showed some comic cheese. Not any more. Mars has also a web version: google.com/mars $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ We probably all take this sort of thing for granted, but holy hell is it impressive that we have access to this kind of information. $\endgroup$
