PDS_VERSION_ID = PDS3 RECORD_TYPE = STREAM OBJECT = TEXT PUBLICATION_DATE = 2000-01-20 NOTE = "Description of the CATALOG directory contents for this volume" END_OBJECT = TEXT END The CATALOG directory contains mission, host, instrument, reference, personnel, data set, and data set map projection PDS catalog objects for this volume containing Mars Global Surveyor data sets. There are separate instrument, reference, and personnel objects for each instrument and separate data set objects for each data set. Each catalog object is stored as ASCII text. Each line is delimited with a carriage-return (ASCII 13) line-feed (ASCII 10) pair. The files are: CATINFO.TXT The file you are reading. MISSION.CAT A brief description of the mission. It includes a chronology of events, definition of mission phases, and science objectives. INSTHOST.CAT A description of the Mars Global Surveyor spacecraft and a very brief overview of the NASA Deep Space Network. ACCDS.CAT A description of the accelerometer data set. The file includes information on the primary data types. Brief discussions of the quality of the data are included where a judgment can be made. ACCINST.CAT An overview of the accelerometer system used for these experiments on Mars Global Surveyor. ACCPERS.CAT A listing of key people involved in analyzing the accelerometer data and in producing the archival data set. ACCREF.CAT A listing of references used elsewhere in the accelerometer catalog files and of references that might be generally useful in working with these data. ERDS.CAT Documentation for the Electron Reflectometer (ER) data set. ERINST.CAT Documentation for the Electron Reflectometer (ER) instrument. ERPERS.CAT Personnel contact information relevant to the Electron Reflectometer (ER). ERREF.CAT Bibliographic references to literature relevant to the Electron Reflectometer (ER). MAGDS.CAT Documentation for the Magnetometer (MAG) data set. MAGINST.CAT Documentation for the Magnetometer (MAG) instrument. MAGPERS.CAT Personnel contact information relevant to the Magnetometer (MAG). MAGREF.CAT Bibliographic references to literature relevant to the Magnetometer (MAG). MOCDS.CAT Contains data set information on the MOC EDR Archive. MOCINST.CAT Contains instrument information for MOC. MOCPERS.CAT Contains information on the personnel involved in the creation of the MOC EDR Archive. MOCREF.CAT Contains reference information relevant to MOC. MOLAAEDS.CAT Description of MOLA AEDR data set. MOLAASDS.CAT Description of MOLA PEDR ASCII data set. MOLAINST.CAT Description of the MOLA instrument. MOLAPEDS.CAT Description of MOLA PEDR data set. MOLAPERS.CAT Description of personnel associated with production of the MOLA data sets. MOLAREF.CAT References mentioned in other MOLA catalog files. RSDS.CAT A description of the Radio Science data set. The file includes information on the primary data types. Brief discussions of the quality of the data are included where a judgment can be made. RSINST.CAT An overview of the spacecraft radio system used for these experiments on Mars Global Surveyor, and a summary (albeit long) description of the Deep Space Network instrumentation that supports radio science experiments. Also included are summaries of the science objectives sought using the instrument. RSPERS.CAT A listing of key people involved in analyzing the radio data and in producing the archival Radio Science data set. RSREF.CAT A listing of references used elsewhere in the Radio Science catalog files and of references that might be generally useful in working with these data. DSMAP2.CAT A description of the simple cylindrical map projection, used by some products in the Radio Science IMG data directory. SPICEDS.CAT The SPICE data set object describes SPICE data. It provides a data set overview and descriptions of SPICE kernels and the software used to manipulate kernel data. SPPERS.CAT The personnel object lists the MGS SPICE data producers. SPREF.CAT The reference object contains bibliographic citations for reference works cited in other SPICE catalog objects. TESDS.CAT Catalog object for the MGS TES data set. TESINST.CAT Catalog object for the MGS TES instrument. TESPERS.CAT Catalog object for personnel associated with the MGS TES data set. TESREF.CAT Catalog object for references cited in the other TES catalog object files.
