PDS Information
Find a Node - Use these links to navigate to any of the 8 publicly accessible PDS Nodes.

This bar indicates that you are within the PDS enterprise which includes 6 science discipline nodes and 2 support nodes which are overseen by the Project Management Office at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC). Each node is led by an expert in the subject discipline, supported by an advisory group of other practitioners of that discipline, and subject to selection and approval under a regular NASA Research Announcement.
Bundle Information
IDENTIFIER urn:nasa:pds:lcross_impactor::1.0
NAME LCROSS Impactor Data Bundle
TYPE Archive
DESCRIPTION This bundle contains all data collected from instruments onboard the LCROSS Shepherding Spacecraft during its four month mission. Because the purpose of this mission was to observe the impact of a centaur launch stage in a permanently shadowed region of the moon, the most interesting data generated by LCROSS was received just before and after that impact. The bundle contains both raw, partially processed, and calibrated data products.
