Archive Products and PDS Labels
===============================

Every product in the bundle is accompanied by a PDS label in a file with 
the same name as the data file, but with the extension ".xml", as PDS 
labels are written in XML (Extended Markup Language). The labels may 
be viewed in a text editor or web browser, preferably one that applies 
special formatting to XML files to make them more readable. The labels 
may also be read by software that can interpret XML. 

Documentation
=============

The primary documentation for the bundle is the Mars 2020 Overview
in the document directory. Users who are unfamiliar with PDS archives should 
read this first.

This bundle was created and archived by the Geosciences Node of the
