Data Products and PDS Labels
============================

Every Orion Camera data product 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.

browse_source     browse image data       src                .jpg and .png      
                  (original source data)         

Raw image files (.tif) are Tagged Image File Format (TIFF) image files converted from
source images that may be viewed in commonly available image display programs.

Raw video files (.mp4) are Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG)-4 video files that may be 
viewed in commonly available video playback programs.

Browse image files are also the original source images (.jpg and .png) and are 
Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG) images and Portable Network Graphic (PNG) images 
that may be viewed in most web browsers and commonly available image display programs.
While treated as browse for PDS due to their compression, these are also the source images 
for the Solar Array Wing (SAW) Cameras, Cabin 2 (CAB2) camera, and Docking Camera (DCAM). 
The OpNav Camera source image is the TIFF raw product.

Documentation
=============
       
The Artemis II Data User Guide, found in the Mission bundle with the document collection, 
describes the contents, format, and structure of the entire Artemis II science data 
archive, including this bundle. It describes the processing level terminology and methods
used to generate the data products. Users are advised to read this document first before 
using the data products.
