Data Sets and Information
• bundle: Galileo NIMS PDS4 Archive
  The original Galileo NIMS archived data were originally publicly available but not in a format that was readily accessible by the planetary community. This situation precludes the spectral investigation of surface and atmospheric chemistry and mineralogy for these objects. Several aspects of the NIMS data archive contribute to this circumstance, including VAX formatted data files (a platform and format abandoned by the PDS), a challenging radiometric calibration, and the absence of a rigorous camera/sensor model, and/or data products that have been orthorectified or spatially controlled relative to SSI observations or more recent Cassini data products (e.g., VIMS). NIMS data are also not easily accessible by the planetary community. Before this work, NIMS data were only compatible with ISIS2, a program no longer supported by the USGS and no longer functions on some modern computer operating systems (e.g., Apple OS X). Galileo NIMS data were also not compatible with mainstream planetary software, including ENVI/IDL or ISIS3. This effort transitioned the data set to ISIS3 and thereby ISIS3 support interfaces. The NIMS PDS archive contains tube and g-cube data derived from the EDRs. Considering the relatively small scope of this effort only the NIMS tube and g-cube product data are the focus of this work. The objective of this work is to reformat and re-archive the Galileo NIMS data set into a more easily accessible data format. In order to do this we outlined three basic objectives: Objective 1: Create an ISIS3 application that reads and converts the NIMS data cubes into native ISIS3 cubes. NIMS data in the PDS is stored in VAX FLOAT format which is mostly obsolete and not widely used in the community any longer. This objective would ential adding support for conversion of VAX FLOAT to IEEE FLOAT in ISIS; advantageous to the pursuit is existing code in ISIS2 that provided a basis for this work. Here we also sought to seek out problems with the NIMS labels in PDS archive that are not compliant with PDS4 standards. These labels errors are to then be corrected and exported with properly formed labels to the PDS archive. Objective 2: Provide the ability to project NIMS tubes using the existing NIMS latitude, longitude tube backplanes. Objective 3: Derivation of a PDS4 compliant archive of the results of our study and provide it to the PDS for general distribution. These basic initial steps will make NIMS more user friendly and provide active support through ISIS help interfaces.
• bundle: Dawn RSS Raw Data Bundle For Asteroid 4 Vesta
  This bundle contains raw radio data that can be used to determine the position and velocity of the DAWN spacecraft during its encounter with 4 Vesta. The bundle also contains the calibration data for the effects of Earth's ionosphere and troposphere, meteorological conditions at stations of the NASA Deep Space Network, thruster activity, spacecraft mass history, and changes in spacecraft antenna selection. The data were used to determine the gravity field and shape of 4 Vesta. Documents describing these data are also included in the bundle. The bundle is a migration of data from the original PDS3 archive.

• bundle: Small Main-Belt Asteroid Spectroscopic Survey (SMASS) V1.0
  The Small Main-Belt Asteroid Spectroscopic Survey (SMASS) was a wide wavelength-coverage visible spectroscopic survey of asteroids carried out primarily at the Michagan-Dartmouth-MIT (McGraw Hill) Observatory on Kitt Peak beginning in 1990. This data set covers the observations for the years 1990-1994 and includes spectra of 316 asteroids. The data have been published in Xu et al. (1995), Icarus 115, 1-35, 1995.
• bundle: Galileo Plasma Science Experiment Pre-Jupiter Calibrated Bundle
  This bundle includes a listing of particle energy spectra from the Galileo Plasma Instrument (PLS) during the Ida, Gaspra, Earth and Venus Encounters. Detector reponses from ion detetors 2P, 4P, and 6P, and from electron detector 4E are available through the PDS as separate files.

• bundle: Galileo Magnetometer Pre-Jupiter Calibrated Bundle
  This bundle contains calibrated data acquired by the Galileo Orbiter Magnetometer (MAG) prior to Jupiter Orbital Operations, including the Earth, Venus, Gaspra and Ida flybys as well as cruise.
• bundle: Small Bodies Radar Shape Models V1.0
  This data set contains radar-based shape models for small solar system bodies, prepared by various authors.
• bundle: Small Main-Belt Asteroid Spectroscopic Survey, Phase II V1.0
  This data set contains visible-wavelength (0.435-0.925 micron) spectra for 1341 main-belt asteroids observed during the second phase of the Small Main-belt Asteroid Spectroscopic Survey (SMASSII) between August 1993 and March 1999. The purpose of the SMASSII survey was to provide a new basis for studying the compositional diversity and structure of the asteroid belt. Based on experiences gained from the earlier SMASS survey, SMASSII focused on producing an even larger, internally consistent set of CCD spectra for small (D < 20 km) main-belt asteroids. The observing strategies and procedures used during SMASSII roughly parallel those used in the first survey (Xu et al. Icarus 115 1-35, 1995), though several minor changes were made in instrumentation and in portions of the data reduction process.
