DATA_SET_NAME MGS SAMPLER MARS ORBITER LASER ALTIMETER PEDR ASCII TABLES
DATA_SET_ID MGS-M-MOLA-5-PEDR-SAMPLER-V1.0
NSSDC_DATA_SET_ID 96-062A-00D
DATA_SET_TERSE_DESCRIPTION The Precision Experiment Data Record (PEDR) Sampler archive contains derived altimetry profile data acquired by MOLA during the Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) mission stored as ASCII tables (superseded by MGS-M-MOLA-3-PEDR-L1A-V1.0).
DATA_SET_DESCRIPTION 
The MGS Sampler contains MOLA PEDR altimetry profiles in both binary and
ASCII formats. These ASCII tables contain calibrated MOLA ranges,
energies, and topography for 18 contingency passes, Fall 1997. The tables
have 29 columns, delimited by spaces. The tables contain radii,
topography, areoid heights, spacecraft location, and instrument data.
The information in these files is virtually identical to the binary
PEDRs. The binary tables contain additional engineering data.
