Data Set Overview
  =================
    This DVD contains portions of the MARCI Experiment Data Record
    (EDR) Archive, a collection of image data from the Mars Color
    Imager on the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter spacecraft.  Image data
    are stored with PDS labels and are uncompressed.  The data have
    been separated into two files per image (one for the visible and
    one for the UV) and have been rearranged in frame order, but are
    otherwise unprocessed and uncalibrated.
 
    This DVD also contains ancillary data files, an index file
    ('index.tab') that tabulates the contents of the DVD, and
    documentation files.
 
    For more information on the contents and organization of the DVD
    volume set refer to the 'DVD CONTENTS, DIRECTORY, AND FILE NAMING
    CONVENTIONS' section of the aareadme.txt file located in the root
    directory of the data volumes.
 
 
  Calibration
  ===========
    For a detailed description of the algorithm for calibrating MARCI
    images, see the 'calib' subdirectory on this volume.

Geometric Accuracy
    ------------------
 
    Latitude and longitude coordinates for the images given in the
    index.tab file were computed using the best-available spacecraft
    position and orientation information, in the form of SPK and CK
    kernel files for the NAIF SPICELIB software.  The versions used
    were constructed operationally by MSSS personnel from deliveries
    by the MRO Project.  While these should be equivalent to those
    retrievable from the NAIF FTP server (naif.jpl.nasa.gov), there
    may be small discrepancies and the NAIF versions are to be
    preferred for all further processing.
 
    The planetary constants kernel pck00008.tpc (available from
    naif.jpl.nasa.gov) was used to generate the geometric information
    in the index.tab file.
