The data are derived from the Dawn raw radio science data set (DAWN-A-RSS-VEGR-V1.0), observations made using the Dawn spacecraft and Earth-based receiving stations of the NASA Deep Space Network (DSN). ============================================================================== ARCHIVE INFORMATION ============================================================================== This archive has the structure illustrated in the diagram below. The data product types archived in this data set are the Spherical Harmonics ASCII Data Record (SHADR) and the Radio Science Digital Map (RSDMAP). The CATALOG directory contains summary information on the Dawn mission, the spacecraft, radio science instrumentation, the data set, and listings of references and personnel. These files are structured to facilitate machine handling but are also intended to be human readable. The diagram below shows the organization of this volume, starting from the root directory. |===================================================================| | | | Dawn Gravity/Radio Science | | Derived Data Directory Structure for Vesta | | | |===================================================================| | | | root | | | | | |- AAREADME.TXT | | |- VOLDESC.CAT | | | | | |- [CATALOG] | | | |- CATINFO.TXT | | | |- DAWNMISSION.CAT | | | |- DAWNINSTHOST.CAT | | | |- INST.CAT | | | |- REF.CAT | | | |- PERSON.CAT | | | `- DATASET.CAT | | | | | |- [DOCUMENT] | | | |- DOCINFO.TXT | | | |- ... | | | | | |- [INDEX] | | | |- INDXINFO.TXT | | | |- INDEX.LBL | | | `- INDEX.TAB | | | | | |- [DATA] | | | |- [SHADR] | | | `- [RSDMAP] | | | | | `- [ODF] | |===================================================================| ============================================================================== FILE FORMAT ============================================================================== All data files in the archive are accompanied by detached PDS labels, which describe their contents. Image data files have the extension ".IMG"; binary tables have the extension ".DAT", and ASCII tables have the extension ".TAB". A detached PDS label has the same file name as the data file it describes except that the label name has the suffix ".LBL". Detailed documentation on file structure, contents, and formatting is found in the PDS labels and in the Software Interface Specifications (SISs) in the DOCUMENT directory. Text files (*.TXT file names) and catalog files (*.CAT file names) are stream files. ============================================================================== CITATIONS ============================================================================== Users wishing to cite products in this archive may use the following citation: Konopliv, A.S., et. al., Dawn Vesta Derived Gravity Data, NASA Planetary Data System, DAWN-A-RSS-5-VEGR-V1.0, 2014. ============================================================================== COGNIZANT PERSONNEL ============================================================================== Sami Asmar Chair of the Dawn Gravity Working Group Jet Propulsion Laboratory 4800 Oak Grove Drive M/S: 230-215 Pasadena, CA 91109-8099 Tel: 818-354-6288 FAX: 818-393-9282 Sami.Asmar@jpl.nasa.gov Alex Konopliv Gravity Science Co-Investigator Jet Propulsion Laboratory 4800 Oak Grove Drive M/S: 301-121 Pasadena, CA 91109-8099 Tel: 818-354-6105 FAX: 818-394-5904 Alexander.S.Konopliv@jpl.nasa.gov Ryan Park Gravity Science Analyst Jet Propulsion Laboratory 4800 Oak Grove Drive M/S: 301-121 Pasadena, CA 91109-8099 Tel: 818-354-4401 FAX: 818-394-5904 Ryan.S.Park@jpl.nasa.gov Dustin Buccino Radio Science Analyst Jet Propulsion Laboratory 4800 Oak Grove Drive M/S: 230-215 Pasadena, CA 91109-8099 Tel: 818-393-1072 FAX: 818-393-9282 Dustin.R.Buccino@jpl.nasa.gov ============================================================================== ACRONYMS AND ABBREVIATIONS ============================================================================== ASCII American Standard Code for Information Interchange DOY Day of year DSN Deep Space Network JPL Jet Propulsion Laboratory NAIF Navigation Ancillary Information Facility NASA National Aeronautics and Space Administration PDS Planetary Data System RS Radio Science RSDMAP Radio Science Digital Map RSS Radio Science Subsystem SHA Spherical Harmonics ASCII Data Record SIS Software Interface Specification
