Unmanned Spaceflight.com _ Jupiter _ Galileo entry probe missing data

Posted by: Fox Jan 3 2024, 03:16 AM

A bit of a longshot here, I'm sure, but for awhile I've been seeking the data from the Lightning/Radio-Emission Instrument (LRD) on the Galileo entry probe. Unfortunately, the data seems to have been lost, as indicated here: https://pds.nasa.gov/ds-view/pds/viewDataset.jsp?dsid=gp-j-lrd-3-entry-v1.0 and here: https://atmos.nmsu.edu/pdsd/archive/data/gp-j-lrd-3-entry-v10/gp_0001/data/lrd/lrdinfo.txt

This forum has assisted me before in locating data that I couldn't find, but am I out of luck on this one?

Thanks

Dan

Interesting that the chain of custody would seem to *require* the investigator to send it back. You'd think some unannotated raw-raw data should be available.

Very few missions have archived the raw bits as received from the spacecraft; PDS puts the responsibility for archiving on the instrument teams. It usually works better than this.
