DATA_SET_TERSE_DESCRIPTION
DATA_SET_DESCRIPTION Data Set Overview : The Level 3 Burst mode data products are Derived Data Records (DDRs) generated from multiple Level 2 products. Four Level 3 mosaics are produced of each lunar pole (i.e., regions above 80 deg. latitude) per imaging opportunity. Unlike the lower-level products, these are composed of data sets collected during multiple acquisitions. Please see documentation in the DOCUMENT directory for additional information on the data files and their format. Parameters : See individual SIS documents, which are located in the DOCUMENT directory, for detailed descriptions of each file contained in this data archive. Processing : The mosaics are produced manually by ingesting the Level 2 stokes parameters into the ISIS software provided by the Astrogeology branch of the USGS. A full PDS label accompanies each data file and gives a detailed description of the content and format. These products are generated using the ISIS software from the USGS. Data : These data are stored in the DATA/SAR/MOSAICS directory on archival volumes. File names are described in MRFFR_DP_SIS.PDF. Every file in the directory has PDS label. Except for files in the root directory and in the CATALOG directories, the label is a separate file in the same directory with the same name but a LBL extension. Coordinate System : The mosaics are produced from Level 2 products which are oriented in reference to the Moon Principle Axis (PA) coordinate system, as realized using NASA's SPICE products (Frames Kernel). Software : No software is included with this archival data set. Media/Format : These products are delivered on a hard-drive or by ftp and not on a specific formatted medium.

ARCHIVE_STATUS LOCALLY_ARCHIVED
CONFIDENCE_LEVEL_NOTE Overview : Data in this data are collected from orbits around the Moon. Review : This archival data set was reviewed by the Chandrayaan-1 Mini-RF Team prior to submission to the Planetary Data System (PDS). Prior to creation of the final version of the archival data set, key elements of the archive were distributed for preliminary review. These included electronic versions of example PDS labels, CATALOG files, and Software Interface Specifications. These materials were distributed to PDS personnel, the experiment investigator, and others, as appropriate. Data Coverage and Quality : The coverage on each archival volume is associated with the orbit number.
CITATION_DESCRIPTION Chandrayaan-1 Forerunner Calibrated Level 3 Data Set V1.0, CH1-ORB-L-MRFFR-5-CDR-MOSAIC-V1.0, NASA Planetary Data System, 2009.
ABSTRACT_TEXT This data set contains lunar polar mosaics composed of calibrated data acquired from the Mini-RF (Mini-SAR) Forerunner instrument during the Chandrayaan-1 mission. The mosaics are made from data collected during multiple orbits.
