"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.

The REMS data don't comprise the same observation period each Sol.
So, here a comparison of 3000 seconds of Sol 82 with according 3000 seconds of Sol 89: The Masthead wasn't in motion, and up to 0.01 degrees at the same pointing during both observation periods: MASTHEAD_AZIMUTH: -179,00 degrees, MASTHEAD_ELEVATION: 43,00 (Sol 82) resp. 43,01 (Sol 89) degrees. SOLAR_AZIMUTH and SOLAR_ELEVATION, relative to the rover coordinate system, were the only obviously changing parameters. This is a hint, that the displaced peeks (Sol 82: 15:29 - 15:41 LMST, Sol 89: 15:43 - 15:52 LMST) should have been induced by the sun position relative to the rover. The peak isn't there (14:00 - 16:00 LMST) in Sol 77 REMS RDR data. At that Sol the Masthead was at a different pointing. This indicates, that the peak was caused by the shadow of the Masthead. At Sol 72 the peak occured (14:14 - 14:20 LMST), with Masthead pointing the same as Sol 82. May be, Joe will be able to add more evidence by looking from Boom 1 towards the sun in a 3d simulation. I didn't find any further obvious kind of systematic discrepancy between Sol 89 Brightness Temperatures A and B. |
