Overview of Geosciences Node Archiving

• Active Missions
• Mars Odyssey
• Mars Exploration Rovers (MER)
• Mars Express (ESA mission)
• Mercury Surface, Space, Environment,
  Geochemistry and Ranging (MESSENGER, led by PPI
  Node)
• Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO)
• Phoenix
• Missions in Development
• Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO)
• Lunar CRater Observation and Sensing Satellite
  (LCROSS )
• Mars Science Laboratory (MSL)
• Chandrayaan-1 (ISRO lunar mission)
• Gravity Recovery And Interior Laboratory (GRAIL)
• Missions shown in red will be discussed in this
  presentation.

LRO Issues

• Data Dictionary
• Most additions to LRO LDD and main PDS DD are
  complete, but cannot finalize until end of all
  peer reviews. LOLA review is still in lien
  resolution.
• Peer Reviews
• LOLA EDR complete RDR in lien resolution. LOLA
  got a late start because of a delay in instrument
  testing.
• Catalog Files
• All teams have skeleton catalog files that Betty
  Sword has reviewed. All except the LEND team need
  to beef up their descriptions.
• Drafts are due Dec. 12, 2008. Final versions are
  due two months before first release, Dec 24,
  2009.

LCROSS Issues and Comments

• LCROSS has one person, who is new to PDS, to
  design and archive 18 data sets. Schedule has
  been revised several times.
• Peer review Responses to liens were due 7/26/08,
  received 11/12/08. We are checking the responses.
• Coordinated ground observations from about 10
  participating observatories
• Geosciences Node provided text about PDS
  archiving for the RFP, and we are in contact with
  the Program Manager to work with selected
  investigators.
• Proposals were due 10/30/08 date for selection
  unknown. We offered to help review PDS-related
  parts.
• Proposers may need a lot of hand-holding to make
  a PDS archive.
• End-to-End Testing
• Test plan is complete.
• Test 1 (sample archive volume for each data set)
  will be conducted in January 2009 along with
  other project testing.
• Test 2 will be conducted if needed depending on
  results of Test 1.

Preparations for Phoenix Release 1, Dec. 24, 2008

• Schedule
• December 10, 2008 Deliver sols 0-30 to PDS
• December 24, 2008 Release to public
• February 22, 2009 Release sols 31-90
• May 2, 2009 Release sols 91-152
• Tasks
• MIPL / Teams to reprocess EDRs to correct
  pointing errors and PDS label errors
• Imaging Node to add many new keywords to Data
  Dictionary
• Teams to generate RDRs from reprocessed EDRs
• WU (wearing Phoenix hat) to collect calibration
  reports from all teams
• WU to secure ITAR clearance from JPL for all SISs
  and calibration reports
• WU to prepare table of coordinated observations
  with MRO

12
Phoenix Issues

• SSI camera EDRs for sols 0-22 need to be
  reprocessed by MIPL to correct pointing errors
  discovered during mission operations.
• All imaging EDRs need label corrections resulting
  from peer review, which were identified too late
  to change the processing software.
• Corrections are being done by MIPL prior to
  delivery.
• Two label errors will not be corrected for
  Release 1 because they require MIPL software
  changes.
• Teams generating imaging RDRs need reprocessed
  EDRs to start with.
• MECA EDRs need to be reprocessed to correct
  duplicate packet errors, which were not noticed
  before because the team did not use the EDRs.
  MECA Team agreed to take over this task from
  MIPL. (Does not affect RDR production.)
• Imaging archive volumes are being assembled at WU
  (wearing Phoenix hat).

Chandrayaan-1 Archive Summary(U.S. instruments
only)

Chandrayann-1 Archive Development Status

Chandrayaan-1 Issues

• There is no relationship between ISRO and PDS for
  Chandrayaan-1 archiving. Hence there is no lead
  node, PDS-approved archive plan, archive working
  group, or schedule.
• Imaging has been working on M3, and Geosciences
  on Mini-RF, independently.
• Stephanie McLaughlin, SBN, is working for M3 to
  help develop processing software.
• The Chandrayaan-1 mission claims to be using PDS
  standards for archiving, but its not clear how
  well this is being done.
• At 10/29/08 MIWG telecon, the Geosciences Node
  agreed to track Chan-1 work for MIWG, including
  making summary page, checklist and report card.
  These are in progress.
• Catalog files exist in draft form but some need
  revision and review. This is in progress.
• Delivery schedules are tentative.
