document
- The document collection contains an overview document describing the data in the bundle. This is a preprint of the published Icarus paper Roush, 2021.


Each data product in this bundle is described by a PDS4 label in a separate file with the same name but with the extension XML. PDS4 labels are XML 
(eXtended Markup Language) files that conform to the PDS4 Information Model XML schema at https://pds.nasa.gov/pds4/schema/released/. They are best viewed in 
an XML-aware text editor, and may be used by software that can manipulate XML documents.

See these sources for more information.
