Archive - An archive consists of one or more Data Sets along with all the documentation and ancillary information needed to understand and use the data. An archive is a logical construct independent of the medium on which it is stored.
Archive Volume - A collection of files formatted according to the PDS Archive Volume standards. This collection may be electronic or stored on a PDS approved physical media such as DVD or CDROM.
Archive Volume Set - A collection of one or more Archive Volumes used to store a single Data Set or collection of related Data Sets.
Catalog Information - High-level descriptive information about a Data Set (e.g., mission description, spacecraft description, instrument description), expressed in Object Description Language (ODL), which is suitable for loading into a PDS catalog.
Data Product - A labeled grouping of data resulting from a scientific observation, usually stored in one file. A product label identifies, describes, and defines the structure of the data. An example of a Data Product is a planetary image, a spectral table, or a time series table.
Data Set - A Data Set is a collection of Data Products from a single instrument that have a common data processing level, together with supporting documentation and ancillary files.
Standard Data Product - A Data Product generated in a predefined way using well-understood procedures, processed in "pipeline" fashion. Data Products that are generated in a nonstandard way are sometimes called special Data Products.
The overall scientific goal of the Dawn mission is to achieve an understanding of the conditions and processes during one of the solar system’s first epochs. It achieves this by flying to and orbiting the main belt asteroids (protoplanets) Ceres and Vesta, orbiting Vesta for a period of not less than seven months and Ceres for not less than five months. At least one and a half months at Vesta are below a mean altitude of 200km, and at least one month of Ceres is below a mean altitude of 700km.
The launch period for Dawn opened on September 26, 2007 and the spacecraft launched on September 27, 2007 at 11:34:00.372 UTC. Dawn is an ion-propelled spacecraft capable of visiting multiple targets in the main asteroid belt. Dawn arrived at Vesta on July 16, 2011, and departed Vesta on September 5, 2012. In the ISB navigation plan, Dawn arrives at Ceres on March 29, 2015, where Dawn orbits until the end of the baseline mission. Dawn flew by Mars in February 2009 en route to Vesta.
The Dawn spacecraft carries three science instruments. The data from these three instruments, when combined, provides information to characterize Vesta and Ceres. The instrument suite consists of redundant framing cameras (FC1 and FC2), a visible and infrared mapping spectrometer (VIR), and a gamma ray and neutron detector (GRaND). In addition to these instruments, radiometric and optical navigation (OpNav) data are used to determine the gravity field and thus bulk properties and internal structure of the two bodies.
Figure 1 Overview of Dawn Mission.
Dawn is an asteroid mapping mission. Each asteroid encounter is nominally sub- divided into three mapping phases, each at different altitudes, and each with different science objectives and primary experiments. Shortly after orbit capture the spacecraft enters into a survey altitude mapping orbit where the VIR instrument is primary. This phase is relatively short, lasting for only 6-7 orbits. Global spectroscopy data and low resolution global image mosaics are acquired during these phases at each asteroid. After survey, the spacecraft is maneuvered into a high altitude mapping orbit (HAMO) where the FC instrument is primary. Medium resolution global stereo imaging is performed at this altitude (950 km Vesta, 1950 km Ceres) while local high resolution spectroscopy data is acquired. Finally, the spacecraft proceeds to the low altitude mapping orbit (LAMO) where the GRaND and gravity experiments will collect their prime data and additional, local, high resolution imaging and spectroscopy data will be acquired. On asteroid approach, all of the instruments perform in-flight calibrations and acquire data that will be used to characterize the hazards of the near asteroid environment (dust) and search for moons.

This specification is useful to those who wish to understand the format and content of the FC PDS data product archive collection. Typically, these individuals would be scientists, data analysts, or software engineers.
FC is a multi-spectral high resolution framing camera. It can take images in a broadband visible filter and 7 narrow band filters ranging from 450 to 980 nm with an IFOV of 96 millirad x 96 millirad.
The camera is composed by a Camera Head and an Electronic Box. The first one contains a 1024 x 1024 front lit CCD with its proximity electronics and its radiator, the filter wheel, the lens barrel, a baffle and the protective front door. The electronic box houses the power converter module, the mechanism controller unit and the data processing unit.
The camera is autonomously controlled by the data processing unit, which is in charge of all the communications with the spacecraft and controlling all the other subunits.
The architecture of the camera makes it suitable for various scientific and operational purposes. The science objectives of the FC are the characterization of Vesta and Ceres by means of their most relevant parameters:
The optics of the Framing Camera consists of an F/8 rad-hard refractive lens system, a set of filters, and a baffle in front of the lens system. The 5.5° x 5.5° field of view is achieved with a focal length of 150 mm and aperture of 19 mm. The lens system with baffle is mounted in front of the CCD by means of a lens barrel.
Between the lens barrel and the CCD lies the filter wheel with its selection of filters as shown in the graph below.
Figure 2: Location of the bandpasses within the spectrum of Vesta and Ceres. See Table 7 for a correspondence between bands and filter numbers.
The CCD has a 1024x1024 sensitive area with 14 µm pitch, representing a field of view of 93 µrad per pixel. The exposure time can be commanded from 1 ms to several thousands of seconds. The image information collected in the sensitive area during the exposure time is transferred on a fast mode to the shielded area in 1.32 ms. Then the image information is amplified and read at a 1 Mpixel/s rate and transferred to the data processing unit.
Figure 3: Active 1024x1024 pixel region on the whole CCD
The Framing Camera contains mainly four electronic subsytems, the Data Processing Unit (DPU), the Mechanism Controller Unit (MCU), the Power Converter Unit (PCU) and the Front-End Electronics (FEE).
The Data Processing Unit controls the camera as a whole and each of the subsystems, decodes the ground commands and transmits scientific and engineering data to the spacecraft. It also contains the mass memory to store the images in the time since they are acquired until they are transmitted to the spacecraft for forwarding to ground. Finally, it also performs the necessary on-board processing of the images, discarding non-relevant parts of the frame and compressing the images to reduce the data volume to be transmitted to ground.
The Mechanism Controller Unit commands the front door and filter wheel mechanisms and reads out the associated temperature and position sensors.
The Power Converter Unit supplies the camera with the voltages needed for correct operation. It is fed from the 28 V unregulated power bus and provides
The Framing Camera can be operated to acquire a single image per command. This mode of operation requires the most time for sequence generation and for execution because it has to be verified that an image acquisition is finished before commanding a new one.
By using higher level UDPs it is possible to acquire several images with one command at a higher acquisition rate. The currently fastest rate is about one image every 4 seconds with no need for adding any margin on top of it.
The instrument can acquire several kinds of images as listed in the table below.
===========================================================================
Table 5: Image acquisition Modes
Mode Decription
===========================================================================
Test Pattern 1024x1024 pixel with grayscale from 0 DN to 16383 DN
Full-Full-Frame Readout of the whole 1092x1056 pixel CCD
Full-Frame Readout of the active 1024x1024 pixel region plus optical
shield regions
Windowed Mode Readout of up to 10 user-defined windows within the 1024x1024
pixel active area of CCD. The image is originally acquired
as a Full-frame and then cropped in different windows, all
of them with the same filter and exposure time. The windows
are defined by issuing commands prior to the acquisition of
the image, and these windows remain valid until a new
definition is sent.
===========================================================================
The framing cameras mass memory is 1GB. This is enough to store around 450 uncompressed full images each 2.2 MB. With lossless compression this number grows to 800 or even more images.
The second limiting factor for the number of images that can be acquired in a certain time is the maximal image acquisition rate. When no filter wheel changes are required this is approximately 1 image every 4 seconds. This time is needed for memory allocation, readout of the CCD, writing the image to memory.
Typical times for processing of the images are one minute to compress with a compression ratio of ~2 and another minute to stream the compressed image into the space craft recorder at a transmission rate of the MILbus of 150 kb/s.
The FC1 CCD is known to be affected by residual, or extra charge. Extra charge is charge that is already present on the CCD before the start of an exposure, and is caused by insufficient draining by the anti-blooming gates. It may occur when imaging an extended source, with its intensity depending on the radiant flux. It was first identified in a very brief (1 msec) clear filter exposure of the inside of an integrating sphere acquired on 8 March 2006. The extra charge was found to be variable over the active area, and to differ significantly from pixel to pixel. At the particular radiant flux used in the experiment (F1 charge rate 6.7x104 DN s-1) it amounts to several hundreds of DN for some pixels. It is unknown how the extra charge scales to the radiant flux level expected at Vesta, which is two orders of magnitude higher than the flux achieved in the experiment. The FC2 CCD was exposed to much lower flux levels than FC1 in the integrating sphere on 12 August 2005, and extra charge was absent. The FC1 images did show traces of extra charge at these low levels. Yet it is possible that at the much higher Vesta flux the FC2 will also be found to be affected. The residual charge is also temperature dependent, which might have an impact on the temperature to operate at Vesta and Ceres.
Figure 4: Temperature dependency of extra charge
The FC has 8 filters at its disposal, numbered from F1 to F8. F1 is a broadband (clear) filter, sensitive in the wavelength interval from 400 to 1100 nm peaking at 700 nm. The narrow-band color filters are of the interference type, and have the following effective wavelengths:

Figure 5: The FC1 absolute responsivity for the different filters as determined from the lab calibration.
The optical design was developed by Kayser-Threde based on the missions requirements. The telecentric four-lens design is derived from a triplet with split third lens to allow telecentricity in image space. The design is optimized for low distortion.
The chromatic variation of the focal plane was compensated for by varying the filter thickness with filter central wavelength. Chromatic aberration was compensated for by the choice of glasses used for the lenses, crown glass with positive refractive power in the first lens followed by two flint lenses of negative refractive power and a forth with positive refractive power. Spherical aberration is corrected with an aspherical first surface.
To maintain a fixed focal length under changing temperatures, the two central lenses are mounted in an inner barrel with a different thermal expansion coefficient than the main barrel. The resulting differential movement with changing temperatures maintains a constant focal plane location within a range of 30 µm.
The optical design required an adequate back focal length to accommodate the filter wheel mechanism inside the camera head, between the lens system and the CCD. The filter wheel transports the eight filters with the lower filter surface at a constant clearance from the CCD. The overall spectral range of the optical system is 400-1050 nm. The band passes are obtained by a multilayered, thin film deposition on the front and back surfaces of silica (Suprasil) substrates. Filter dimensions are 20 mm by 20mm, with the thickness specified for the band pass.

The FC has been calibrated using the results of laboratory and in-flight measurements. The lab measurements were acquired at the Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research, and were aimed at determining the dark current and the absolute photometric response in each of the filters. Flat fields were acquired by imaging the inside of an integrating sphere.
The in-flight measurements, acquired during the Initial Check-Out campaign in the months after launch, focused on characterizing the dark current and geometric distortion (through observation of star fields), and validating the lab radiometric calibration (photometric standard stars). The calibration pipeline is described by [Schröder & Gutierrez-Marques 2008].
Dark current, and the associated emergence of bad pixels, and the amount of geometric distortion will continue to be monitored during bi-annual check-outs. Images acquired during the Mars Gravity Assist will enable us to validate the lab flat fields. A better understanding of the FC flat field response and in-field stray light characteristics may require reprocessing of data in the future.
Two data sets will be delivered for each mission phase: one raw (EDR) data set, and one calibrated (RDR) data set.

The DSC captures all of the payload instrument telemetry frames as binary files after the data have been cleaned up in the post-pass processing (reconstructed level-0 data). Post-pass processing is completed with 8 hours of each pass and typically is able to fix minor forms of data corruption (partial packet reconstruction, dropped time tags, etc.). These files are inventoried within the Dawn Science Database (DSDb) and made available to the teams for download at any time. The DSC prepares the documentation and metadata required in order to submit these products to the PDS to be saved (rather than archived). The PDS documentation threshold for saved data sets is substantially lower than for archived products. The raw decoded frames are not considered to be useful for the general science community but the bits will be preserved in their rawest form. The DSC will submit the telemetry frames to the PDS Small Bodies Node (SBN) within a week of the end of each science phase. All level-0 data products are created with PDS "minimum" labels. Each level-0 data file contains the CCSDS (Consultative Committee for Space Data Systems) packets for a single APID (Application Process Identifier).
The Doppler Tracking data are used by the NAV and Gravity Science teams and do not flow into the TDS (Telemetry Data Server). These data flow from the DSN into the OSCAR-X system where they are accessible to the gravity team at JPL. Since these data do not flow directly into the DSC, the DSC staff will manually retrieve them from OSCAR-X and load them into the DSDb. Gravity Science investigators that are not at JPL will use the DSDb to retrieve the level-0 data for their analysis. This process is described in the operational interface agreement (OIA-DSC-409) between the Gravity Science Team and the DSC. Unlike the decoded frames, the level-0 Doppler Tracking data are archived with the PDS. DSC prepares these data for archive and submits them to the PDS SBN at the same time as the level-1a data products from the payload instruments.
Figure 6: Dawn Science Data Flow. SPAA elements and products are outlined with solid black lines, MOS components with dotted lines, and PDS components with dashed lines.
The data reduction pipeline is implemented in a tailored application called Calliope. The input to the application comprises a set of images in PDS format, a configuration file and various reference data files.
The PDS files to be fed into the pipeline are the direct output of Trap, the so-called Level 1a of image processing, where the images are uncompressed and reconstructed back to image format but the value of the pixel is a plain digital number.
The configuration file, also called mission calibration description file, is an XML file describing the different operational slots and the reference files to be used for the calibration of the images in each one. It also contains some constants for the calibration image, such as the radiometric calibration coefficients, dark current curve and any other constant that can be applied to all the pixels in the sensor.
The reference files are typically synthetic images that represent the distribution of a magnitude over all the pixels in the sensor, such as the dark current generation rate or the sensitivity of the pixel. These files help correcting the differences among pixels to provide a measurement of the real light flux as accurate as possible. Being Dawn a long term mission, these images, as the related constants, are bound to change throughout the mission and the configuration file captures this effect by matching each reference file and constant to its corresponding time of application.
The Instrument Teams retrieve the reconstructed Level-0 data from the DSDb and use it to produce the Level-1a (raw, reformatted) data sets. The raw telemetry data are decompressed, decoded, and formatted into scientifically useful data structures. These products, along with their required PDS documentation, form the level-1a data sets (EDRs). The Instrument Teams extract the reconstructed spacecraft ephemeris and pointing data (SPICE kernels) from the DSDb and use these data to compute the various geometry data that are included in the PDS labels associated with each data product. The Instrument Teams are required to submit the PDS-labeled EDRs to the DSDb within 7 days after the reconstructed data are made available to the teams (see OIA-DSC-406). These data are then available to the rest of the Science Team for validation and preliminary analysis. If any problems are discovered during validation or analysis, new products are produced by the FC team and delivered to the DSC for use by the Science Team and eventual archive (see schedule) by the PDS. The FC team also generates PDS catalog files and other documentation (activity reports, instrument performance reports, calibrations, etc.) and provides these files to the DSC for the internal distribution and archive.
After the data are validated by the Dawn Science Team, the DSC packages the data, catalog files, and documentation into PDS-compliant archive data volumes, one volume for each data set according to PDS volume organization standards (JPL-D-7669). The DSC is responsible for the creation of the PDS required files associated with archive volumes (AAREADME.TXT, VOLDESC.SFD, etc.), including the index table. The DSC then delivers the volumes to the PDS SBN in accordance with the SBN standard data delivery practices at the time of each delivery. Presently, the PDS SBN accepts volumes delivered electronically, on CDROM, and on DVD-R. EDR data volumes are to be delivered to the PDS SBN for peer review within 90 days of the end of each science phase (Approach, Survey, HAMO, LAMO, etc.). The DSC is responsible for following the archive submissions through the PDS peer review process until the data are finally accepted into the PDS archive. The Instrument Teams will support the DSC during this PDS process by providing any additional documentation that is requested by the PDS peer review panel.
Additional data processing is performed by the FC team to produce calibrated level 1b (RDR) data products (radiometrically corrected spectra). The FC team produces the processed products using the archived EDR data sets. The RDR data products are submitted to the DSDb within a few months of the receipt of the corrected telemetry by ground data system. If during the course of the mission an improved calibration becomes available, the FC team may choose to update the data in the DSDb using the latest version of the calibration. The FC team is not obligated to provide updated RDR data products and any such resubmission would be negotiated with the Science Team. The DSDb system supports the resubmission of data sets.
The DSC has the same roles and responsibilities with respect to the generation of PDS archive compliant volumes for the RDR data sets as it does for the EDR data sets. Final RDR data volumes are publicly released by the PDS SBN within 6 months after asteroid departure. In order to support this schedule, peer review copies of the archive volumes will normally be delivered to the SBN 2 months prior to the final data release. The DSC and FC Teams will support the PDS peer review process of the RDR data sets in the same manner as the EDR data sets. Peer review liens will be addressed in time to support the public release date. Final (corrected) archive volumes will be delivered to the SBN two weeks prior to the public release.

This chapter describes the format of FC standard product archive volumes. Data that comprise the FC standard product archives will be formatted in accordance with Planetary Data System specifications [Planetary Science Data Dictionary, 2008; Planetary Data System Archive Preparation Guide, 2006; PDS Standards Reference, 2007].
The DSC collects the data files and labels provided by the FC team onto archive volumes. Each archive volume contains all FC data available for the time interval covered by the archive volume. Once all of the data files, labels, and ancillary data files are organized onto an archive volume, the DSC adds all of the PDS required files (AAREADME, INDEX, ERRATA, etc.) and produces the physical media.
Disk formats for the archive volumes will conform to the PDS standard for the applicable media. At present, the plan is to archive FC data in online data volumes that are delivered to the SBN electronically. Although the volumes will be electronic, they will comply with the same volume organization standards that PDS formerly used to describe physical volumes on DVD or CDROM media.
Each FC data set will be archived on a separate PDS volume. The volume naming convention is:
DWNp(s)FCn_lx
where:
p - mission phase (X = cruise; M = Mars; V = Vesta; C = Ceres),
(s)– sub-phase, Ceres volumes only, (A=Approach, S = Survey, H=HAMO, L=LAMO)
n - Framing Camera number,
l - processing level (1A = EDR; 1B = RDR).
For example, the FC2 Mars EDR volume will be named DWNMFC2_1A or DWNCHFC2_1B for Ceres HAMO calibrated data.
Due to constraints on the length of VOLUME_ID's, the Calibration volumes will follow a slightly different convention. For these volumes the naming convention is:
DWNCALFCnl
where:
n - Framing Camera number,
l - processing level (1A = EDR; 1B = RDR).
For example, the FC1 Calibration volume will be named DWNCALFC11A.
The FC team will be making the following checks on the data, before submitting them to the DSC:
The Dawn Science Team has access to the FC EDR and RDR data sets for several months prior to their public release by the PDS. These are the data that the Science team uses for its initial data analysis and interpretation. Any data processing errors that are discovered through the use of the data are reported back to the FC team so that they can be corrected. In addition, the Science Team uses the same documentation that is later released to the PDS during its analysis. If any of the documentation is unclear, or if there are omissions in the documentation that hinder data analysis, these problems are reported back to the FC team so that they can be corrected.
The peer review panel consists of members of the instrument team, the DSC, and members of the PDS Small Bodies and Engineering Nodes, and at least two outside scientists actively working in the field of asteroid remote sensing science. The DSC is responsible for generating and delivering PDS-compliant volumes to the SBN. The PDS personnel are responsible for verifying that the volume(s) are fully compliant with PDS standards. The instrument team and outside science reviewers are responsible for verifying the content of the data set, the completeness of the documentation, and the usability of the data in its archive format. The peer review process is a two part process. First, the panel reviews this document and verifies that a volume produced to this specification will be useful. Next, the panel reviews a specimen volume to verify that the volume meets this specification and is indeed acceptable.
During the peer review process, the panel will normally identify errors or omissions in the archive documentation, problems with conformance with the PDS standards. All accepted peer review liens will be resolved prior to the public release of the data. Liens that require data product updates, or updates to the instrument or data set documentation will be addressed by the VIR team. Any problems identified with the volume format, volume documentation, index files, or other products produced by the Dawn Science Center will be corrected by the DSC. After the liens are resolved, the DSC will create and submit an updated archive volume to the PDS Small Bodies Node.

Archive documents are stored in the DOCUMENT directory branch of the archive volume. All documents are stored as PDF-A (archive PDF), and HTML versions. The HTML version consists of a "clean" HTML file (an HTML with minimal markup), with images saved as separate in separate files in some image format (e.g. JPEG, or PNG). The HTML constitutes the plain ASCII text version required by PDS standards. The DOCUMENT directory contains a separate sub-directory for each document in which all of the files associated with that document are located.

The DATA directory contains the actual Data Products produced by the FC team.
Every file in the DATA path of an Archive Volume is described by a PDS label. Both text documentation files and image files have internal (attached) PDS labels. The attached label file for image files is an ASCII header section pre-pended to the images.
All archive volumes will have a separate sub-directory for each phase and observation. These sub-directories will be named according to the convention:
YYYYMMDD_XXXXXX
where:
YYYYMMDD is the date of the observation (4-digit year, 2-digit month, 2-digit day)
XXXXXX is the phase or observation name
For example, the sub-directory for the data from the FC2 Straylight Test performed 31 Mar 2009 (DOY 90) would be:
20090331_STRAYLIGHT
FC image files will be named according to the following convention:
FCxll_imageid_yydddhhmmssFnz.IMG
where:
FCx indicates the instrument
ll indicates the data processing level (e.g. 1A, 1B, etc.)
IMAGEID image id (7 characters, zero-padded)
yyddd indicates the image acquisition year/doy
hhmmss indicates the image SCET (UT)
Fn n indicates the filter number used in capturing the image (see Table 6)
z indicates the data file version (A-Z)
The images have an attached header, so the file consist of two parts: The image label followed by the image objects. Both, the EDR and RDR (level 1a and level 1b) products follow the same file structure. The labels contain the same keywords but number and size of the image objects may vary.
Depending on the image acquisition mode, each EDR will contain one or more image objects in the same file, all of them taken with the same filter and exposure time. Each of these images will be identified (see below) with a name, width and height, and the real CCD coordinates of the first row and column of the frame. In the cases where the image has been acquired in windowed mode with more than one window, there will be an additional 1024x1024 "IMAGE" frame with black background and all the small windows overlaid in their right positions within the CCD active area..
All image objects contain raw digital numbers of type "LSB_UNSIGNED_INTEGER".
RDR images are reduced to the size of the active area of the CCD of 1024x1024 pixel. All pervious image objects inside this region are merged into a single image object called "IMAGE". After the radiometric calibration the the DNs represent real physical units of type "PC_REAL"
A more detailed description of the format can be found in the following section.
===========================================================================
Table 17:FC Data Label Contents
Keyword Value Units Value Description
===========================================================================
PDS Version Keywords
PDS_VERSION_ID The version number of the PDS
standards documents that is valid
when a data product label is created.
Values for the PDS_VERSION_ID are
formed by appending the integer
for the latest version number to the
letters 'PDS'. Mandatory.
PDS_VERSION_ID = "PDS3"
LABEL_ REVISION_ NOTE Free-form unlimited length character
string providing information regarding
the revision status and authorship of a
PDS label. This should include the latest
revision date and author of the current
version, but may include a more complete
history. This element is required in all
Catalog labels and should be the second
element in the label.
The entry is optional but highly
recommended. Several fields are separated
by semicolons. Example values: "20080201, PGM,
DAWN FC V1.5"
File Characteristics
RECORD_TYPE Indicates the record format of a file. RECORD_TYPE
= "FIXED_LENGTH"
RECORD_BYTES Indicates the number of bytes in a physical file
record, including record terminators and
separators. When RECORD_TYPE = STREAM
(e.g. a SPREADSHEET), its value is set to
the length of the longest record in the file.
RECORD_BYTES = "512"
FILE_RECORDS Indicates the number of physical file records,
including both label records and data records.
LABEL_RECORDS Indicates the number of physical file records
that contain only label information. The number
of data records in a file is determined by
subtracting the value of LABEL_RECORDS
from the value of FILE_RECORDS.
Typically = 19 ... 27
FILE_NAME Provides the location independent name of a
file. It excludes node or volume location,
directory path names, and version specification.
To promote portability across multiple platforms,
PDS requires the FILE_NAME to be limited to a
27-character base name, a full stop (. period),
and a 3-character extension. Valid characters
include capital letters A - Z, numerals 0 - 9,
and the underscore character (_). The FILE_NAME
will be generated by TRAP at MPS.
See section 5.6.3 for naming convention
Pointers to Data Objects (Typically the PDS label has 20 ... 27 records.)
^IMAGE A regular array of sample values. Image
objects are normally processed with
special display tools to produce a visual
representation of the sample values. This
is done by assigning brightness levels or
display colors to the various sample values.
Images are composed of LINES and SAMPLES.
They may contain multiple bands, in one of
several storage orders.
The particulars of each of the
data objects are detailed in a
corresponding image object (see
below), including width, height
and coordinates of the first line
and sample.
Name of image object needs to end
with *_IMAGE. Other examples:
^FRAME_0_IMAGE, ^FRAME_1_IMAGE,
^FRAME_2_IMAGE, ^FRAME_3_IMAGE, ...
Typically = 21 ...28
^*_IMAGE (2nd pointer) Typically = 4000 ... 9000
^*_IMAGE (3rd pointer) Typically = 4000 ... 9000
^*_IMAGE (4th pointer) Typically = 4000 ... 9000
^*_IMAGE (5th pointer) Typically = 4000 ... 9000
^HISTORY A pointer to a part of the image
that contains information about the
history of the image, located between the
header and the image data.

or a data product. The data_set_name typically
identifies the instrument that acquired the
data, the target of that instrument,
and the processing level of the data. A data
set is a logical group of different products.
DATA_SET_NAME will be provided by DSC.
DATA_SET_ID A unique alphanumeric identifier for a data
set or a data product. The data_set_id
value for a given data set or product is
constructed according to flight project
naming conventions. In most cases the
data_set_id is an abbreviation of the
data_set_name. DATA_SET_ID wil be provided by DSC.
PRODUCT_ID Represents a permanent, unique identifier assigned
to a data product by its producer. The
PRODUCT_ID will be generated from the
filename by MPS. It contains seven digits,
starting with 0000000 for the first image.

within a data set. The version is indicated by
one character, starting with A for the first
version, followed by B ... Note: This is not the
same as the data set version that is an element
of the DATA_SET_ID value. PRODUCT_VERSION_ID is
intended for use within AMMOS to identify separate
iterations of a given product, which will also have
a unique FILE_NAME. PRODUCT_VERSION_ID = "X"
RELEASE_ID Identifies the unique identifier associated
withecific release of a data set. All initial
releases should use a RELEASE_ID value of '0001'.
Subsequent releases should use a value that
represents the next increment over the previous
RELEASE_ID (e.g., the second release should use
a RELEASE_ID of '0002'). Releases are done when
an existing data set or portion of a data
set becomes available for distribution.
Note: The DATA_SET_ID and RELEASE_ID are used as
a combined key to ensure all releases are unique.
Typically = 0001
Mission Identification
INSTRUMENT_HOST_ID Provides a unique identifier for the host
where an instrument is located. This host can
be either a spacecraft or an earth base
(e.g., and observatory or laboratory on the
earth). Thus, the INSTRUMENT_HOST_ID element can

Pointing
RIGHT_ASCENSION deg Provides the value of right ascension, which is
defined as the arc of the celestial equator
between the vernal equinox and the point where the
hour circle through the point in question intersects
the celestial equator (reckoned eastward).
Right ascension is used in conjunction with the
DECLINATION keyword to specify a point on the sky.
Range: 0.000 ... 360.000 <degree>
DECLINATION deg Provides the value of an angle on the celestial
sphere, measured north from the celestial equator
to the point in question. (For points south of the
celestial equator, negative values are used.)
Declination is used in conjunction with the
RIGHT_ASCENSION keyword to specify a point on
the sky.
Range: -90.000 ... 90.000 <degree>
TWIST_ANGLE deg Provides the angle of rotation about an optical
axis relative to celestial coordinates. The
RIGHT_ASCENTION, DECLINATION, and TWIST_ANGLE
elements define the pointing direction and
orientation of an image or scan platform.
Note: The specific mathematical definition of
TWIST_ANGLE depends on the value of the
TWIST_ANGLE_TYPE element. If unspecified,
TWIST_ANGLE_TYPE = GALILEO for Galileo data
and TWIST_ANGLE_TYPE = DEFAULT for all other
data.
Range: 0.000 ... 360.000 <degree>
CELESTIAL_NORTH_CLOCK_ANGLE deg Specifies the direction of celestial north at the
center of an image. It is measured from
the 'upward' direction, clockwise to the direction
toward celestial north (declination = +90 degrees),
when the image is displayed as defined by the
SAMPLE_DISPLAY_DIRECTION and LINE_DISPLAY_DIRECTION
elements. The epoch of the celestial coordinate
system is J2000 unless otherwise indicated.
Range: 0.000 ... 360.000 <degree>
QUATERNION n/a Specifies a quaternion, which is a four-component
representation of a rotation matrix. This
particular definition is focused on the PDS
use of quaternions; one should refer to other
sources for a more complete discourse on quaternion
math. A quaternion may be used to specify the
rotation of one Cartesian reference frame--
sometimes referred to as the base frame or the
'From' frame--into coincidence with a second
Cartesian reference frame--sometimes referred
to as the target reference frame or the 'To' frame.
Unlike an Euler rotation where three sequential
rotations about primary axes are used, a
quaternion rotation is a single action, specified
by a Cartesian vector used as the positive axis of
the rotation (right hand rule) and the magnitude
(an angle) of rotation about that axis. A quaternion
has four components. One of the components is a
scalar, a function of the angle of rotation
(cosine of half the rotation angle), while the
remaining three components are used to specify a
vector, given in the base reference frame, about
which the rotation will be made. In the PDS context
a quaternion has a magnitude of one, and so may
be treated as a unit quaternion. In many cases a
time tag (epoch) must be associated with the
quaternion because the orientation varies over
time. A time tag is not needed if the 'To' and
'From' frames have a fixed offset.
QUATERNION = "(Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4)"
Example value: (0.9643781086, 0.1998558870,
-0.02085268255, -0.1720396867)
Spice Kernels
SPICE_FILE_NAME Provides the names of the SPICE files used in
processing the data.
SPICE_FILE_NAME = ("SPK_KERNEL_1","SPK_KERNEL_2",
"C_KERNEL_1","C_KERNEL_2","I_KERNEL",
"SC_FRAMES_KERNEL","ASTEROID_FRAMES_KERNEL",
"PCK_KERNEL","LEAPSECONDS_KERNEL","SCLK_KERNEL",
"SHAPE_MODEL")
Coordinate System
COORDINATE_SYSTEM_NAME Provides the full name of the coordinate system to
which the state vectors are referenced. PDS has
currently defined body-fixed rotating coordinate
systems. The Planetocentric system has an origin
at the center of mass of the body. The
planetocentric latitude is the angle between the
equatorial plane and a vector connecting the
point of interest and the origin of the coordinate
system. Latitudes are defined to be positive in the
northern hemisphere of the body, where north
is in the direction of Earth's angular momentum
vector, i.e., pointing toward the hemisphere north
of the solar system invariant plane. Longitudes
increase toward the east, making the Planetocentric
system right-handed. The Planetographic system has
an origin at the center of mass of the body. The
planetographic latitude is the angle between the
equatorial plane and a vector through the point
of interest, where the vector is normal to a
biaxial ellipsoid reference surface. Planetographic
longitude is defined to increase with time to an
observer fixed in space above the object of
interest. Thus, for prograde rotators (rotating
counter clockwise as seen from a fixed observer
located in the hemisphere to the north of the
solar system invariant plane), planetographic
longitude increases toward the west. For a
retrograde rotator, planetographic longitude
increases toward the east. Note: If this data
element is not present in the PDS Image Map
Projection Object (for pre-V3.1 PDS Standards),
the default coordinate system is assumed to
body rotating Planetographic.
COORDINATE_SYSTEM_CENTER_NAME Identifies a named target, such as the Sun, a planet,
a satellite or a spacecraft, as being the
location of the center of the reference coordinate
system. The COORDINATE_SYSTEM_CENTER_NAME element
can also be used to identify a barycenter used for
a SPICE s_ or p_kernel.
Orbit Geometry
TARGET_NAME Identifies a target. The target may be a planet,
satellite, ring, region, feature, asteroid or
comet. See target_type.
TARGET_NAME = "TARG_NAME"
Example values: "VEGA", "1 CERES", "4 VESTA"
TARGET_TYPE Identifies the type of a named target. The
TARGET_TYPE will be described by DSC
or from PDS.
SUB_SPACECRAFT_LATITUDE deg Provides the latitude of the subspacecraft point.
The subspacecraft point is that point on a body
which lies directly beneath the spacecraft. If
the point, described by this keyword does not
fall on the target described in TARGET_NAME, then
the value for this keyword will be N/A (not
applicable).
SUB_SPACECRAFT_LONGITUDE deg Provides the longitude of the subspacecraft point.
The subspacecraft point is that point on a body's
reference surface where a line from the spacecraft
center to the body center intersects the surface.
If the point, described by this keyword does not
fall on the target described in TARGET_NAME, then
the value for this keyword will be N/A (not
applicable). Note: The COORDINATE_SYSTEM_TYPE data
element should be used in conjunction with this
data element.
SUB_SPACECRAFT_AZIMUTH deg Provides the value of the angle between the line
from the center of an image to the subspacecraft
point and a horizontal reference line (in the image
plane) extending from the image center to the
middle right edge of the image. The values of this
angle increase in a clockwise direction. If the
point, described by this keyword does n ot fall on
the target described in TARGET_NAME, then the value
for this keyword will be N/A (not applicable).
SPACECRAFT_ALTITUDE km Provides the distance from the spacecraft to a
reference surface of the target body measured
normal to that surface.
TARGET_CENTER_DISTANCE km Provides the distance between an instrument and
the center of mass of the named target.
ORBIT_NUMBER Identifies the number of the orbital revolution
of the spacecraft around a target body.
SC_TARGET_POSITION_VECTOR km Indicates the x-, y-, z- components of the position
vector from observer to target center expressed
in J2000 coordinates, and corrected for light time
and stellar aberration, evaluated at epoch at which
image was taken.
SC_TARGET_VELOCITY_VECTOR km/s Indicates the x-, y-, z- components of the velocity
vector of target relative to observer, expressed in
J2000 coordinates, and corrected for light time,
evaluated at epoch at which image was taken.
LOCAL_HOUR_ANGLE deg Provides a measure of the instantaneous apparent sun
position at the subspacecraft point. The
LOCAL_HOUR_ANGLE is the angle between the
extension of the vector from the Sun to the
target body and the vector projection on the
target body's ecliptic plane of a vector from the
target body's planetocentric center to the
observer (usually, the spacecraft). This angle
is measured in a counterclockwise direction when
viewed from north of the ecliptic plane. It may be
converted from an angle in degrees to a local
time, using the conversion of 15 degrees per
hour, for those planets for which the rotational
direction corresponds with the direction of
measure of the angle.
SUB_SOLAR_LATITUDE deg Provides the latitude of the subsolar point. The
subsolar point is that point on a body's reference
surface where a line from the body center to the
sun center intersects that surface.
SUB_SOLAR_LONGITUDE deg Provides the longitude of the subsolar point. The
subsolar point is that point on a body's reference
surface where a line from the body center to the
sun center intersects that surface. Note: The
COORDINATE_SYSTEM_TYPE data element should be used
in conjunction with this data element.
SUB_SOLAR_AZIMUTH deg Provides the value of the angle between the line
from the center of an image to the subsolar point
and a horizontal reference line (in the image plane)
extending from the image center to the middle right
edge of the image. The values of this angle
increase in a clockwise direction.
SOLAR_LONGITUDE deg Provides the value of the angle between the body-Sun
line at the time of interest and the body-Sun line
at the vernal equinox. This provides a measure of
season on a target body, with values of 0 to 90
degrees representing northern spring, 90 to 180
degrees representing northern summer, 180 to 270
degrees representing northern autumn and 270 to
360 degrees representing northern winter.
SOLAR_ELONGATION The angle between the line of sight of observation
and the direction of the Sun.
Solar Geometry
SPACECRAFT_SOLAR_DISTANCE km Provides the distance from the spacecraft to the
center of the sun.
SC_SUN_POSITION_VECTOR km Indicates the x-, y-, and z- components of the
position vector from observer to sun, center
expressed in J2000 coordinates, and corrected for
light time and stellar aberration, evaluated at
epoch at which image was taken.
SC_SUN_VELOCITY_VECTOR km/s Indicates the x-, y-, and z- components of the
velocity vector of sun relative to observer,
expressed in J2000 coordinates, and corrected for
light time, evaluated at epoch at which image was
taken.
Illumination
INCIDENCE_ANGLE deg Provides a measure of the lighting condition at the
intercept point. Incidence angle is the angle
between the local vertical at the intercept
point (surface) and a vector from the intercept
point to the sun. The INCIDENCE_ANGLE varies from
0 degrees when the intercept point coincides with
the sub-solar point to 90 degrees when the intercept
point is at the terminator (i.e., in the shadowed
or dark portion of the target body). Thus, higher
values of INCIDENCE_ANGLE indicate the existence
of a greater number of surface shadows.
EMISSION_ANGLE deg Provides the value of the angle between the surface
normal vector at the intercept point and a vector
from the intercept point to the spacecraft.
The EMISSION_ANGLE varies from 0 degrees when the
spacecraft is viewing the subspacecraft point
(nadir viewing) to 90 degrees when the intercept
is tangent to the surface of the target body.
Thus, higher values of EMISSION_ANGLE indicate more
oblique viewing of the target. Values in the
range of 90 to 180 degrees are possible for ring
data.
PHASE_ANGLE deg Provides a measure of the relationship between the
instrument viewing position and incident
illumination (such as solar light). PHASE_ANGLE
is measured at the target; it is the angle
between a vector to the illumination source and
a vector to the instrument. If not specified,
the target is assumed to be at the center of the
instrument field of view. If illumination is from
behind the instrument, PHASE_ANGLE will be small.
Image Parameters
SAMPLE_DISPLAY_DIRECTION This is the preferred orientation of samples
within a line for viewing on a display device.
The default is right, meaning samples are viewed
from left to right on the display.
SAMPLE_DISPLAY_DIRECTION = "RIGHT"
LINE_DISPLAY_DIRECTION This is the preferred orientation of lines within
an image for viewing on a display device. The
default value is down; meaning lines are viewed
top to bottom on the display.
LINE_DISPLAY_DIRECTION = "UP"
SLANT_DISTANCE km Provides a measure of the distance from an observing
position (e.g., a spacecraft) to a point on a
target body. If not specified otherwise, the target
point is assumed to be at the center of the
instrument field of view.
MINIMUM_LATITUDE deg This specifies the southernmost latitude of a
spatial area, such as a map, mosaic, bin, feature,
or region. If the point, described by this keyword
does not fall on the target described in TARGET_NAME,
then the value for this keyword will be N/A (not
applicable).
CENTER_LATITUDE deg This provides a reference latitude for certain map
projections. For example, in an Orthographic
projection, the CENTER_LATITUDE along with the
CENTER_LONGITUDE defines the point or tangency
between the sphere of the planet and the plane of
the projection. The MAP_SCALE (or MAP_RESOLUTION)
is typically defined at the CENTER_LATITUDE and
CENTER_LONGITUDE. In unprojected images,
CENTER_LATITUDE represents the latitude at the
center of the image frame. If the point, described
by this keyword does not fall on the target
described in TARGET_NAME, then the value for this
keyword will be N/A (not applicable).
MAXIMUM_LATITUDE deg This specifies the northernmost latitude of a
spatial area, such as a map, mosaic, bin,
feature, or region. If the point, described by
this keyword does not fall on the target described
in TARGET_NAME, then the value for this keyword
will be N/A (not applicable).
WESTERNMOST_LONGITUDE deg The following definitions describe
WESTERNMOST_LONGITUDE for the body-fixed, rotating
coordinate systems: For Planetocentric coordinates
and for Planetographic coordinates in which
longitude increases toward the east, the
westernmost (leftmost)longitude of a spatial area
(e.g., a map, mosaic, bin, feature or region) is
the minimum numerical value of longitude unless it
crosses the Prime Meridian. For Planetographic
coordinates in which longitude increases toward
the west (prograde rotator), the westernmost
(leftmost) longitude of a spatial area (e.g., a
map, mosaic, bin, feature or region) is the
maximum numerical value of longitude unless it
crosses the Prime Meridian. If the point, described
by this keyword does not fall on the target
described in TARGET_NAME, then the value for this
keyword will be N/A (not applicable).
CENTER_LONGITUDE deg This provides a reference longitude for certain map
projections. For example, in an Orthographic
projection, the CENTER_LONGITUDE along with the
CENTER_LATITUDE defines the point or tangency
between the sphere of the planet and the plane of
the projection. The MAP_SCALE (or MAP_RESOLUTION)
is typically defined at the CENTER_LATITUDE and
CENTER_LONGITUDE. In unprojected images,
CENTER_LONGITUDE represents the longitude at the
center of the image frame. If the point, described
by this keyword does not fall on the target
described in TARGET_NAME, then the value for this
keyword will be N/A (not applicable).
EASTERNMOST_LONGITUDE deg The following definitions describe easternmost
longitude for the body-fixed, rotating coordinate
systems: For Planetocentric coordinates and for
Planetographic coordinates in which longitude
increases toward the east, the easternmost
(rightmost) longitude of a spatial area (e.g.,
a map, mosaic, bin, feature or region) is the
maximum numerical value of longitude unless it
crosses the Prime Meridian. For Planetographic
coordinates in which longitude increases toward
the west, the easternmost (rightmost) longitude
of a spatial area (e.g., a map, mosaic, bin,
feature or region) is the minimum numerical value
of longitude unless it crosses the Prime Meridian.
If the point, described by this keyword does not
fall on the target described in TARGET_NAME, then
the value for this keyword will be N/A (not
applicable).
HORIZONTAL_PIXEL_SCALE km This indicates the horizontal picture scale. The
unit for this value is < METER/PIXEL>.
VERTICAL_PIXEL_SCALE km This indicates the vertical picture scale. The
unit for this value is < METER/PIXEL>.
RETICLE_POINT_RA deg This refers to the right ascension of the principle
points of the camera. It contains five values, one
for the cameras boresight vector and four for the
corners of the FOV.
RETICLE_POINT_DECLINATION deg This refers to the declination of the principle
points of the camera. It contains five values,
one for the cameras boresight vector and four for
the corners of the FOV.
RETICLE_POINT_LONGITUDE deg This provides the longitude of the surface intercept
points of the principle points of the camera. It
contains five values, one for the cameras boresight
vector and four for the corners of the FOV.
RETICLE_POINT_LATITUDE deg This element provides the latitude of the surface
intercept points of the principle points of the
camera. It contains five values, one for the cameras
boresight vector and four for the corners of the
FOV.
NORTH_AZIMUTH deg This element provides the value of the angle between
a line from the image center to the north pole and
a reference line in the image plane. The reference
line is a horizontal line from the image center to
the middle right edge of the image. This angle
increases in a clockwise direction.
LIMB_ANGLE deg This element provides the value of the angle between
the center of an instrument's field of view and the
nearest point on the lit limb of the target body.
LIMB_ANGLE values are positive off-planet and
negative on-planet.
Image Object
OBJECT An image object is a regular array of sample values.
Image objects are normally processed with special
display tools to produce a visual representation
of the sample values. This is done by assigning
brightness levels or display colors to the various
sample values. Images are composed of LINE_SAMPLES
and LINES. They may contain multiple bands, in one
of several storage orders.
Example values: IMAGE, *_IMAGE
INTERCHANGE_FORMAT Represents the manner in which data items are stored.
LINE_SAMPLES This indicates the total number of data instances
along the horizontal axis of an image.
Example values: 1 ... 1092
LINES This element indicates the total number of data
instances along the vertical axis of an image.
Note: In PDS label convention, the number of lines
is stored in a 32-bit integer field. The minimum
value of 0 indicates no data received.
Example values: 0 ... 1056
BANDS This element indicates the number of bands in an
image or other object.
BANDS = 1
SAMPLE_BITS Indicates the stored number of bits, or units of
binary information, contained in a LINE_SAMPLE
value.
SAMPLE_BITS = 16
SAMPLE_TYPE Indicates the data storage representation of sample
value.
SAMPLE_TYPE = "LSB_UNSIGNED_INTEGER"
FIRST_LINE This element indicates the line within a source
image that corresponds to the first line in a
sub-image. First pixel on the CCD is [1,1].
Example:1 ... 1056
FIRST_LINE_SAMPLE This element indicates the sample within a source
image that corresponds to the first sample in a
sub-image. First pixel on the CCD is [1,1].
Example: 1 ... 1092
UNIT The unit element provides the full name or
standard abbreviation of a unit of measurement
in which a value is expressed. For Level 1A
images: "DU" For Level 1B clear filter images:
"W.m**-2.sr**-1" For Level 1B color filter
images "W.m**-2.nm**-1.sr**-1"
INST_CMPRS_NAME see under data compression
INST_CMPRS_RATIO This value represents the ratio between the
amount of image data transmitted for this
particular image object and the raw size of
the image. For this reason, if a file contains
several image object it is possible that each
one has a different compression ratio. The
compression ratio is the achieved value, not
the commanded one, so if an image is commanded
to compress 1:2 but it can be compressed without
loss to 1:2.15 this will be the value shown
INST_CMPRS_TYPE see under data compression
PIXEL_AVERAGING_HEIGHT Indicates the number of pixel in the column
direction that were averaged before transmission.
Given that the image is always shown in the
original resolution, the binned pixels are
expanded back to the original size by having
PIXEL_AVERAGING_HEIGHT rows with exactly the same
values
PIXEL_AVERAGING_WIDTH Indicates the number of pixel in the row direction
that were averaged before transmission. Given that
the image is always shown in the original
resolution, the binned pixels are expanded back
to the original size by having
PIXEL_AVERAGING_WIDTH columns with exactly the
same values
END_OBJECT Indicates the end of the image object.
