MSL data in the PDS and the Analyst's Notebook, Working with the archived science & engineering data Options

[Phil Stooke]

"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."

They released some more sol 0-89 data to the PDS today:

The NASA Planetary Data System announces Part 2 of the first release of data from the Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) mission, covering data acquired on Sol 0 through Sol 89, August 6 through November 5, 2012. Part 2 consists of derived data products. Release 1, Part 1, took place on February 27, 2013, and consisted of raw data products.

Part 2 consists of derived data sets from the following instruments:
Alpha Particle X-ray Spectrometer (APXS)
Chemistry and Mineralogy (CheMin)
Hazard Avoidance Cameras (Hazcam)
Navigation Cameras (Navcam)
Rover Environmental Monitoring Station (REMS)
Sample Analysis at Mars (SAM)

Release of the following data sets has been delayed. The data sets will be released as soon as they are made available to PDS.

Chemistry & Micro-Imaging (ChemCam) derived data
Chemistry and Mineralogy (CheMin) raw data
Dynamic Albedo of Neutrons (DAN) derived data
Radiation Assessment Detector (RAD) raw and derived data

Release 1 does not include data from the MAHLI, MARDI, or Mastcam instruments.

Links to all MSL data sets may be found on the PDS Geosciences Node web site http://pds-geosciences.wustl.edu/missions/msl/. The data may also be reached from the main PDS home page, http://pds.nasa.gov/. MSL data are archived at the PDS Atmospheres, Planetary Plasma Interactions (PPI), Geosciences, Imaging, and Navigation and Ancillary Information Facility (NAIF) Nodes.

PDS offers two services for searching the MSL archives:
The Planetary Image Atlas at the Imaging Node allows selection of MSL image data by specific search criteria.
http://pds-imaging.jpl.nasa.gov/search.

The MSL Analyst's Notebook at the Geosciences Node allows searching and downloading of all MSL data in the context of mission events.
http://an.rsl.wustl.edu/msl.

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 the web site http://pds-geosciences.wustl.edu/missions/msl.

Thanks Joe,

I am going through the PDS learning curve, and learning a little, but still have a lot to learn. Can I ask if you have found any "REMS Ground Temperature" info in the PDS? I saw your posts in another thread regarding 'REMS Air Temperature' Thought it best to post here this time.
