"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.

Yay ! Finally the Mastcam and MaHLI images released in the PDS .
BUT, I have a big problem now. I'm using ImageJ and the PDS Reader plugin to open the IMG files in order to convert them into png files. This works for MER files, and Phoenix files. But with MSL, no. I have a message saying me : "This doesn't appear to be a PDS file". So, I do not know what else to do, because I'm on Mac OS 10.5, and there is no support from developpers for this -only 6 years old- OS. Many years ago, I tried a Gimp plugin to open IMG files, it did worked on OS 10.3 (and also Windows), but not on OS 10.5. For IMG2PNG (developped by Björn Jonsson), I can forget it, this is an executable, and I will not run any virtual machine in order to run it (by guessing it's even work). And dual boot, no, be serious! (I don't even have the space on my hard drive to do that, and the Windows installer). Upgrade to OS 10.7 is not in my projects for now. I will certainly upgrade to OS 10.6 because I just want to run the latest versions of both Gimp, Blender, Inkscape and Hugin. So, what can I do to open these precious MSL IMG files ? -------------------- |

So, what can I do to open these precious MSL IMG files ? The only program these were tested with, AFAIK, was NASAView: http://pds.jpl.nasa.gov/tools/release/software_download.cfm I had nothing to do with the software development, but I'll try to look at this when I get a chance. But any solution I come up with will likely be based on the Python Imaging Library. -------------------- Disclaimer: This post is based on public information only. Any opinions are my own.
