"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.

Okay :/
This is sad because this plugin was simple, opened the files in 16 bits, and with ImageJ it was cool to export it in png with 16 bits. I guess, I'll have to find an other way to handle MSL data (maybe try this NASAView software, but as far as I can recall, I've already tried it and found it not very convenient to use, Edit : I've downloaded NASAView, and yes, it can open local files (I mistooken it with an other software). So now, the challlenge is to apply the right color scheme. Because I'm opening an LBL files, and I have a window that suggest me to enter value for each R, G and B "layer" of the Bayer matrix (I think). Edit 2 : Opening Mastcam. Check. Find the good values for the LBL file. Not quite. Save the result as a Jpeg file. Not very good. It leads to a greyscale images with vertical bands all over the image. And with Navcam images, the Jpeg export lead to a stretched picture. Not the thing I'm looking for when working with IMG files… Edit 3 (and this will be the last) : I'm reading on http://pdssbn.astro.umd.edu/tools/software.shtml this line about NASAView : "The program is not intended to be used for saving and intensive scientific analysis of the data.". As well I'm not a scientist, I quite like an high quality imagery. So, NASAView is not the Edith : An interesting reeading here about a modifyed version of the ImageJ plugin. http://www.marsroverblog.com/discuss-20354...sicspage14.html It seems to working well with MSL IMG files . I managed to download the .java source file, and copy / paste the new code. I succeed to compile it. I will try with Navcam files. -------------------- |
