Data Set Overview =================This data set contains data that is useful for determiningthe energetic particle environment experienced by the Mars ScienceLaboratory rover at the surface of Mars. The RDR data products arecalibrated data reconstructed from EDR data and formattedaccording to the RAD RDR Software Interface Specification (RDRSIS). Processing ==========The Committee On Data Management and Computation (CODMAC) datalevel numbering system is used to describe the processing level ofthe RDR data product. RAD RDR data products are considered CODMAC Level3 or Calibrated Data (equivalent to NASA level 1-A) products. The RDRdata files are generated from RAD EDR data. RDR data files are ASCIItext, and each one spans either a Sol (if data is from the surface -after landing) or an Earth day (if data is from cruise to Mars).EDR data is first ingested into the RAD team's database, and thenRDR files are created from this data, enabling straightforwardsorting by Sol or date. Data ====Each RAD RDR product consists of two files. The first file is anASCII formatted detached PDS label. The second file is an ASCIIdata file for a RAD Sol/date. The data in a RAD RDR file is derivedfrom RAD EDR data, but numeric information is uncompressed,calibrated to physical units, and converted to ASCII. The data ispresented in a generally human-readable form, but lines can bevery long in order to maintain machine-readability as well. Software ========No software support is provided. Media/Format ============The data set will be delivered and kept online.
