"February 27, 2013. MSL Release 1, part 1, Sols 0-89.
The first release of MSL data takes place in two parts. Part 1, February 27, 2013, includes raw data products (EDRs) acquired on Sols 0 through 89, August 6 through November 5, 2012, for these instruments: APXS, ChemCam, DAN, Hazcam, Navcam, and REMS, along with SPICE data. Part 2, March 20, 2013, will include the derived data products (RDRs) for Sols 0 though 89 for the APXS, ChemCam, DAN, Hazcam, Navcam, and REMS instruments, along with both the EDRs and RDRs for the CheMin and RAD instruments, and the RDRs for the SAM instrument. Release 1 does not include data from the MAHLI, MARDI, or Mastcam instruments. These instrument teams have not yet delivered data products to PDS. Some documents in the MSL archives are awaiting clearance by JPL Document Review and/or the JPL Import/Export Control Office. They will be posted online as soon as clearance has been received, and announced on this web site." Phil -------------------- ... because the Solar System ain't gonna map itself.

This is a comparison of the route map in the Analyst's Notebook (top, a set of screen shots) with the latest HiRISE image of tracks and my UMSF route map. My LPSC poster is a comparison like this for Spirit and Opportunity maps (to show the difference between localization using MOC, early in the mission, and HiRISE now). So I thought I would do this comparison with the new map in PDS. Very interesting comparison. First, look at the right side. The rock Jake Matijevic can be seen in HiRISE and my map as a black dot (arrowed by the sol 45 marker at right edge, bottom map). On the PDS map it's offset to the north. Similarly a crater between sols 40 and 41 is offset to the north in the PDS map. Actually what's happening is, the PDS map has its traverse offset to the south a few meters relative to the HiRISE base. That persists along its whole length... except between sols 29 and 38. There, the PDS traverse is shifted north to exactly the right place, causing an offset at each end of that segment which clearly does not exist in the HiRISE tracks - it must be based on a different localization result. (PS the similarity between my map and the HiRISE is not a coincidence, I edited my map to fit HiRISE) Phil -------------------- ... because the Solar System ain't gonna map itself.
