Instrument Host Information
IDENTIFIER urn:nasa:pds:context:instrument_host:spacecraft.msl::1.2
NAME Mars Science Laboratory
TYPE Spacecraft
DESCRIPTION During the MSL mission, data are collected by instruments on the rover and those data are relayed directly to stations of the NASA Deep Space Network (DSN) on Earth or indirectly to the DSN using the orbital relay capability of Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) or 2001 Mars Odyssey (ODY).
