The raw data from MESSENGER's January 14, 2008 flyby of the planet Mercury are now online on NASA Planetary Data Service's website:

http://pds-imaging.jpl.nasa.gov/data/messe...grmds_1001_new/

As such, I am proud to present a series of mosaics I have created using these raw images. These use the mosaic designs shown on the MESSENGER project's Mercury Flyby 1 Visualization Tool webpage. These mosaics were created in either Photoshop CS3 (using the Photomerge tool) or PTGui Pro (particularly for the two MASSIVE mosaics).

Keep in mind that these mosaics are quite large in most cases, and it may be better just to right-click and save them to your hard drive to view them separately, rather than viewing them in your browser.

could be because the crescent mosaic uses uncalibrated images... forgot to change the caption.

Approach wide-angle movie:



54 binned RGB sets total, from 2008-01-14 00:05:01 UTC (400 000 km range) to 2008-01-14 17:43:52 UTC (29 500 km range).

Sigh.

(no, this ain't yet another one of my postage-stamp sized composites)

Just when I was finally able to do all calibration steps, a calibrated data volume (!) appears at the PDS, containing both the radiometrically calibrated and I/F calibrated data. The old directory VP posted in the first post was renamed to http://pds-imaging.jpl.nasa.gov/data/messe...s_1001_new_old/. There's also one more dir: http://pds-imaging.jpl.nasa.gov/data/messenger/msgrmds_1001/, which I suspect is the same as the former one.

Calibrated data, people. Dig in!

Yummy. Now I'm glad I didn't find the time to play with this data set before! I'm updating my Cassini pages first, then I'll get back to this...
