  1. Supporting Active Surface Missions and Adding Value to Planetary Data Archives PDS Analyst’s Notebook Thomas C. Stein tstein@wustl.edu PDS Geosciences Node Washington University in St. Louis 1MS3-4-8

  2. PDS data archives • The Planetary Data System (PDS) is a NASA organization that archives science data from NASA’s planetary missions. • One or more data sets are defined for each mission instrument based on the data products produced. • An archive volume is created for each data set.

  3. What is an archive volume? • Archive volumes contain not only the scientific data, but information necessary to understand the data, including documentation that details • science objectives • instrument configuration and calibration • data acquisition, processing, and format • errata and other special considerations

  4. Archive volume components Archived Data - Standard EDR and RDR data products Documentation - Software Interface Specification - Spacecraft and instrument reports Calibration Data - Calibration reports and data Archive volume file structure calib catalog data document index aareadme.txt errata.txt PDS Archive Volume

  5. Analyst’s Notebook Objective Provide access to the mission data archives by integrating sequence information, engineering and science data, and documentation into standard web-accessible pages.

  6. How is the Notebook developed? • For active missions • For historical missions • Jointly developed by PDS Geosciences Node and individual missions • Not a mission critical tool • Intended audience is the mission Science Team and PDS science community • Team version (password protected) for the Science Team • PDS version containing only released data and documentation • Updates to the Notebook are made every day during the mission • Developed on a best efforts basis • Gather available data and documentation from archive sources • Work with scientists familiar with data and with mission • Understand mission process • Determine how best to present data to scientific community • Assemble mission holdings into Analyst’s Notebook

  7. Analyst’s Notebook components Archived Data - Standard EDR and RDR data products Documentation - Software Interface Specification - Spacecraft and instrument reports Calibration Data - Calibration reports and data Special Products - Additional products of interest Documentation - Daily operations reports - Science team reports - Historical reports Resources - Historical mission overview - Science paper references - Links to additional resources • Value Added Elements • Suite of tools and data representations that enhance archive use • Data and document search • - Interactive maps • Cross instrument data browsing • Cross mission coordinated observations • Integrated plans / timeline PDS Archive Volume Analyst’s Notebook
