ARCHIVE_STATUS ARCHIVED
CONFIDENCE_LEVEL_NOTE Review====== This archival data set was reviewed by the MEX Radio Science Team prior to submission to the Planetary Science Archive (PSA). 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. ODR files were checked using Stanford parsing and reduction software to ensure that they were complete and accurate replicas of the data contained in the original files.
