DATA_SET_TERSE_DESCRIPTION
DATA_SET_DESCRIPTION Data Set Overview : NASA's Voyager Project and Planetary Data System (PDS) have created an archive of planetary digital images acquired by the twin Voyager spacecraft (Voyager 1 and Voyager 2). This initial collection includes all of the images acquired by Voyager 2 as it passed by the planet Uranus, and selected near-encounter images of Jupiter, Saturn, and their satellites taken by both spacecraft. The current Voyager archive resides on eight CDROM volumes. Each volume contains approximately 2500 images stored in individual files. The Uranus volumes, (volumes one through three), store the entire image collection acquired during Voyager 2's encounter with Uranus. The Saturn volumes, (volumes four and five), and the Jupiter volumes, (volumes six through eight), contain the best nearest-encounter images for the respective planets and their moons. In addition to the images, supplemental information exists on the CDROMs. This includes documentation providing a user with information about the organization and contents of the disk. Software source code is included to provide programmers with tools to process the image files. There are browse images, sub-sampled versions of the full-resolution images, which allow users to rapidly view the archive collection with their interactive display. Finally, there are image index files containing information about all the images stored in the archive. The set of images on the CDROMs are raw; no processing has been performed other than organizing the original telemetry into raster-formatted files and compressing the image data using a Huffman encoding algorithm. To make full scientific use of the image collection, it is necessary to understand the radiometric and geometric properties of the camera system and perform corrections to the data. Media/Format : The archival data set is written on CD-ROM media. The CD-ROM volumes conform to ISO 9660 standards.

CONFIDENCE_LEVEL_NOTE Overview : N/A Review : This archival data set was examined by a peer review panel prior to its acceptance by the Planetary Data System (PDS). The peer review was conducted in accordance with PDS procedures. Prior to creation of the final version of the archival data set, key elements of the archive were distributed for preliminary review.
