NEAR Data Archive   Radio Science (RSS)

This page provides direct links to volumes containing final versions of PDS-formatted data.

• View final data submissions:
  • Level 1B through level 5 data products.

• Go to the Expert Search of final data submissions (in development).

The following topics will aid your search through the NEAR Data Archive:

• Where can I find...? provides information to help you locate data, shape models, browers, surface features of Eros and Mathilde, etcetera.
• The NEAR documentation set provides one-stop access to all mission documents, instrument documents, observing logs, and data set descriptions.
• Mission phases presents a table of date ranges and durations.
• Data levels defines the different types or levels of process data found in the archive>.
• Naming scheme defines the naming convention used for NEAR data volumes.
• Directory structure describes the directory structures within NEAR data volumes.
• Known and discovered problems lists discrepancies found in the final NEAR delivery.

Level 1b through 5 Data Products

Mission Phase	Start Date (day of year)*	Stop Date (day of year)*	# of Data Files	View the Data Directory (includes PDS labels)	View the Data Volume (includes documentation)
Mathilde Flyby	1997-06-25 (176)*	1997-06-27 (178)*	8	mathfb - This directory contains all data products relating to the Mathilde flyby.	nreros_2001
Eros Flyby	1998-12-23 (356)	1997-06-27 (356)	33	erosfb - This directory contains all data products relating to the Eros flyby.	nreros_2001
Eros Orbit	2000-01-11 (011)	2001-02-43 (043)	160	erosorb - This directory contains all data products relating to the Eros orbit.	nreros_2001
	2000-02-14 (045)	2001-02-12 (043)	7	Gravity Model and Landmarks Data - This directory contains all data products relating to the gravity modelsproduced by the NEAR/NAV team from data taken during Radio Science experiment. The landmark data used to determine the landing site is included.	nreros_2001
	2000-04-30 (121)	2001-08-27 (240)	5	Shape Model - This directory contains all data products relating to the gravity and shape model produced by the NEAR/NAV team from a limited sample of data taken by the NEAR/NLR instrument. The data is produced in 2 forms: the original form as used by the NAV team's software (this version is probably not useful) and a second form with separate pieces, comparable to other submissions of shape and gravity data, e.g., the NLR team.	nreros_2001
