DATA_SET_TERSE_DESCRIPTION
DATA_SET_DESCRIPTION Data Set Overview : This RDR is produced by OPGS to provide the position and orientation of the rover throughout the mission, as well as extra information such as mechanism locations, spacecraft clock mappings, and a 'base map' covering the rover traverse. For an in depth discussion of all PLACES files, please refer to the MSL Project Software Interface Specification (SIS), PLACES Data Products for PDS, Version 1.0, JPL D-78442, February, 2015. Processing : OPGS/MIPL creates this RDR by collecting data obtained from a wide variety of telemetry data sources in its pipeline. This is supplemented by data provided by the MSL Localization team. This data is maintained in a database for operational use. The RDR for PDS is created by extracting data from this database and reformatting it to match PDS standards. Data : In this volume, the primary data source, extracted straight from the database, is the XML files in the EXTRAS directory. These XML files are transformed to a more usable format in the DATA directory. Comma-Separated-Value Files --------------------------- These files contain the rover position and orientation in several different formats (e.g. meters relative to landing site, meters relative to the global origin, latitude/longitude, and pixels in the included map). The data is in a convenient comma-separated-value format. There are several different 'views' of this data, providing rover position from different sources. The SIS describes this fully, but in brief, there are currently three views. Telemetry contains the rover's idea of where it is, which is known to be inaccurate over large areas due to accumulation of error. Localized_pos and localized_interp contain the localization team's refinement of this location, which provide more accurate locations registered to the base map. Map --- There is also a map of the area surrounding the rover's traverse. This map is extracted from the Localization Team's base map, which is used for all rover operations. The entire traverse is contained in this map, with an approximately 500m margin. Metadata files describe the map, as well as PDS label files. Software : The OPGS/MIPL PLACES database, its MATIS pipeline, and various ancillary programs and scripts were used to capture and store the rover localization and mechanism position data. Media/Format : The data set will be delivered and made available to the public through the Planetary Data System web sites.
