This data set collection contains CASPIR image data.
Currently only one data set is included on this volume.
These are:
MSSSO CASPIR - Near-IR images for Jupiter/SL9
(calibration data on subsequent volume)
The Jupiter/SL9 data from July 17, 1994 to July 22, 1994 are on this volume.
The data files were submitted in the FITS form with documentation. In this
case, a FITS to PDS translator program (F2P) has been used to create the
detached PDS labels for each corresponding FITS file. The data were checked
by manipulating the data with IDL routines developed at the Small Bodies Node
(PDSREAD). A complementary PDS to FITS translator program is also
included for completeness. Examples on the use of these routines and the
source code are posted on the Small Bodies Node home page under Software
Archives; also located at this address is the Quick Start Archiving guide.
In the DOCUMENT directory are explanatory text files as well as digitized
versions of the manuals that are in Postscript form with figures as TIFF
files. All document files and most labels contain an 80-byte fixed length
record, with a carriage return (ASCII 13) and line feed (ASCII 10) as the
79th and 80th byte respectively. All the tabular files in the INDEX and
DOCUMENT directory are formatted according to PDS standards. It should be
noted that the index tables are formatted so that they may be read directly
into many database management systems. All fields are separated by commas,
and character fields are inclosed in double quotes (").
