Deep Space 1 PEPE Encounter Data Data |
Status: Archived
This volume contains Plasma Experiment for Planetary Exploration (PEPE) data taken during the Deep Space 1 encounter with comet 19P/Borrelly on over the period 19-23 September 2001. Data are uncalibrated and in spacecraft coordinates.
History Note
These data were reviewed in October 2003 and archived in October 2005. At that time of the 2003 review, the data preparer failed to provide the complete data sat prior to the opening of the review, and also presented significantly revised data files after the initial delivery was posted. In the two years since the review, the data preparer has repeatedly missed deadlines for providing additional information - specifically, the calibration document requested by the external revieres. The data have had format and PDS standards corrections applied, but are otherwise archived as is. Reviewers' comments and liens are available at the bottom of this page. If additional or revised data or information are ever received, they will be added to the data set and the version number incremented to reflect the change.
An overview of the volume contents is provided in the aareadme.txt file, in flat text.
Catalog files contain the overview information and parameters used in loading the PDS central catalog, specifically, or for developing other interfaces to the data outside of PDS. The information they contain, particularly in their descriptive text fields, should be clear, complete, and understandable to a research user who is not necessarily a mission or instrument specialist.
These files are located in the catalog/ subdirectory. The directory contents are described by the catinfo.txt file.
In addition to the small text files located throughout the volume to describe directory contents, some specific documents are provided to assist with understanding the data and processing involved.
These files are located in the document/ subdirectory. The directory contents are described by the docinfo.txt file. The following documents are included:
The label file describing all three of these forms is in the file data_product_def_030113.lbl.
The data files are located in the data/ subdirectories. Labels are in separate files from the data, with the same name as the data file but an extension of ".lbl". File naming conventions and formats are explained in the datainfo.txt file. Each file is presented in two formats: ASCII and binary. ASCII file names end in "_a", binary file names in "_b".
This directory contains an index into the data files included on this volume (in the data/ directory).
NOTE: These index files do not accurately reflect the contents of the data directory. The data preparer submitted new data files after the opening of the review, but failed to provide the appropriate index files to accompany them. Reviewers requiring an accurate index file should contact the Small Bodies Node for a replacement.
Following are lien lists and a reviewer presentation, showing the problems reported by reviewers:
