How to: GDAL with Martian Data
I’ve seen a lot of tutorial on working with GDAL with Earth data, but not a lot for planetary data, Mars included. As I use GDAL a lot (and in need of reminder myself), why not write a how-to with Martian data.

Mempersiapkan Penjelajahan Ke Luar Angkasa, Dari Bumi
Untuk melakukan penjelajahan di bumi, faktor-faktor seperti arah, posisi, dan cuaca merupakan faktor yang penting saat mempersiapkan perjalanan. Dengan menggunakan sistem navigasi dan peta, serta ramalan cuaca yang akurat hingga 2 derajat per harinya[1], kita dapat mempersiapkan rute perjalanan kita untuk mendatangi lokasi yang kita inginkan di permukaan bumi, dalam kondisi perjalanan yang terbaik. Di bumi saja, kita terbiasa untuk mempersiapkan perjalanan kita, untuk melakukan penjelajahan ke luar angkasa, di tata surya kita, bahkan di alam semesta, dunia yang misterius dan jauh berbeda kondisinya dengan bumi kita, tentu jauh lebih banyak data dan persiapan yang dibutuhkan.

I think when people say space agency, their mind will first go to NASA, the USA space agency, actually there are a lot more space agencies out there!
