| Data Set Abstract |
This data set is a partial collection of spectra in digital form
from the Mariner 6 and 7 Infrared Spectrometer experiments. All
Mars and near-Mars sky spectra are included here, as well as some
relevant laboratory spectra of blackbody sources. Lacking are the
inflight spectra of reference targets including the wavelength
calibration spectra. The IRS data are arranged as a single set of
512 spectra calibration spectra, followed by 122 Mariner 6
spectra, followed by 354 Mariner 7 spectra. The latter set is
larger because the long-wavelength channel detector system failed
on Mariner 6. These spectra are presented here in raw form, as
originally supplied to the NSSDC on microfiche. Note that the
geometry information in the spectrum headers was revised by the
producer in 1984 to account for the revision in the location of
the Mars pole following Mariner 9 observations. |
