4.3.2 Science Team Validation

The Dawn Science Team has access to the VIR 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 VIR 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 VIR team so that they can be corrected.

4.3.3 PDS Peer Review

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.

5.6 DATA Directory

The DATA directory contains the data products (labeled data files) produced by the VIR team.

5.6.1 File Naming Conventions

VIR spectral data are stored in QUBE format with detached PDS labels. Data cubes are named according to the suffix indicating the channel, the processing level, the spacecraft clock reset number and the acquisition SC_CLOCK_START_COUNT (integer part). The naming convention is the following:

VIR_sss_ll_v_sctime_z

where:

VIR indicates the instrument, fixed

sss indicates the sensor, IR or VIS for the infrared or visible spectrometers respectively

ll indicates the processing level, either 1A or 1B

v indicates the clock reset number

The extension is always QUB. For example, visible channel raw data acquisitions starting at SC_CLOCK_START_COUNT = 21983325.39258 are named:

VIR_VIS_1A_1_21983325_1.QUB

Due to internal synchronization delays, the same acquisition could be shifted by few seconds among the two channels.

The housekeeping data related to a given qube are stored in a table with a detached label. The extension of the file containing the table is TAB. The filename is similar to the corresponding data Qube, but for a 'HK' inserted before the file version number. As an example, the housekeeping information of the qube VIR_VIS_1A_1_21983325_1.QUB is stored in the file VIR_VIS_1A_1_21983325_HK_1.TAB. The HK tables for a give spectra are identical in both the 1A and 1B data.

The 1B data also includes "quality qubes". These files have a 'QQ' inserted before the file version number. Quality qubes contain information related to the calibration of the associated data qube.

5.6.2. Data Organization and Sub-directories

The DATA directory will normally be divided into subdirectories by observing period in order to keep the number of data files in each directory manageable. The cruise calibration volume will eventually contain many years of data. The first level of subdivision of this volume will be mission phase. The Vesta and Ceres data volumes will be subdivided by observation. Phase and observation level directories will be named following the convention:

yyyymmdd_xxx

where:

yyyymmdd = start date (yyyy=year, mm=month, dd=day)

xxx = phase or observation ID

Examples:

20110929_HAMO

20111006_CYCLE1

20110814_CYCLE2

if the mission timeline remains as it is today.

5.6.3 Required Files

Every file in the DATA path of a VIR archive volume is described by an external (detached) PDS label.

5.7 GEOMETRY Directory Contents

The GEOMETRY directory contains copies of the VIR SPICE metakernel (TM) files. TM files are SPICE text kernels that list the SPICE kernels that were used in data processing and in the calculation of the geometry parameters contained in the data label files. The SPICE kernels listed in these TM files are archived at the PDS-NAIF node.

VIR TM files are named according to the convention:

DAWN_phase_Rnn.TM

where:

For example the file DAWN_VSH_R03.TM is version 3 of the Vesta Science HAMO (VSH) metakernel.

5.8 BROWSE Directory

To the moment, there are no planned BROWSE products.

6. Data Format Descriptions

6.1.1 VIR data File Structure

EDR and RDR data products are organized in a similar way, that is three- dimensional matrices (a QUBE) containing the data + a TABLE containing associated housekeeping information. The labels are always detached.

A QUBE object is a multidimensional array (called the core) of sample values in multiple dimensions. The core is homogeneous, and can consist of unsigned byte, signed half-word or floating point full-word elements. QUBEs of one to three dimensions may have optional suffix areas in each axis.

The QUBE is the main data structure of the ISIS (Integrated Software for Imaging Spectrometers) system. A frequently used specialization of the QUBE object is the ISIS Standard

Qube, which is a three-dimensional QUBE with two spatial dimensions and one spectral dimension. Its axes have the interpretations 'sample', 'line' and 'band'. Three physical storage orders are allowed: band-sequential, line- interleaved (band-interleaved-by-line) and sample-interleaved (band- interleaved-by-pixel).

The implementation selected for VIR data does not include suffix areas; the associated information is instead stored in a table.

Figure 5. Generic ISIS Cube Structure

6.1.2 VIR EDR data File Structure

The VIR EDR data sets use the 3-D core structure to store the instrument data. A table is storing instrument housekeeping data. Spectra are stored intact for single sample (most rapidly varying component in the 3-D structure). All samples are collected at a single time, and are thus the next most rapidly varying component of the data core. Finally, QUBEs are constructed by assembling spatial lines that are either acquired in a push-broom mode (value field of the keyword SCAN_MODE_ID set to 0) or by using the VIR scan mirror that moves the slit across the target body. The line direction is the most slowly varying component in the data core.

The data files include the data QUBE itself, a TABLE with the instrument housekeeping and the two detached labels. The labels are ASCII text and can be viewed using normal text viewers.

The following definitions apply to both EDR and RDR qubes (see fig. 6).

• Co-ordinate along x (slit axis) = SAMPLE
• Co-ordinate along y (scan axis) = LINE
• Co-ordinate along l (spectral axis) = BAND

In the following table, the co-ordinate sizes for the different VIR operative modes are listed.

Figure 6. Definitions of data types

A DATA CUBE is a 3-dimensional matrix representing a set of data, i.e. the digital number vs. the two spatial co-ordinates (x,y) and the spectral one (l).

An IMAGE is a 2-dimensional matrix of the data cube, defined by selecting its # BAND.

A FRAME is a 2-dimensional matrix of the data cube, defined by selecting its # LINE (scan mirror in a fixed position).

A SLICE is a 2-dimensional matrix of the data cube, defined by selecting its # SAMPLE.

A PIXEL is an element of the image (associated to a # BAND), defined by selecting # SAMPLE and # LINE (i.e. spatial coordinates (x,y)).

For each pixel it is useful to define the following data structures:

• SPECTRUM, that is a 1-dimensional array along the l axis of the data cube, passing through the selected pixel;
• ROW, that is a 1-dimensional array along the x axis of the data cube, passing through the selected pixel;
• SCAN, that is a 1-dimensional array along the y axis of the data cube, passing through the selected pixel.

6.1.2.1 Table structure

The frames composing a qube are downloaded as a series of packets, containing part of a given frame. Each packet begins with a secondary header, while a primary header is downloaded at the beginning of each stream of packets. All the housekeeping information related to the frames is coming with the primary and secondary header of the packets. The HK parameters are stored in a table as 33 fields with a variable number of bytes. Every line in the table corresponds to a frame in the qube data file. The number of table rows actually used is identical for each frame. This number is written in the value field of SUFFIX_ITEM keyword (see section 6.2). The following table details the content of the HK table.

6.1.3 VIR RDR Data File Structure

The logical object that is storing the calibrated data is a QUBE with a detached label. Information relevant to the calibration process is stored in another qube formed by three planes (called 'quality qube'), with detached label. The filenames of the calibrated data are following the same formation rules as the raw data. A 'QQ' is inserted before the file version number in the filename of the quality qube.

The data in a RDR cube are expressed in radiance physical units (W m^{- 2} mm^-1 sterad^-1), saved in floating precision in BIP format (Bands, Sample, Line). The label is similar to the one of the corresponding EDR cube; a "NOTE" in the HISTORY OBJECT is keeping trace of the ITF file used in the calibration process.

The quality qube contains three planes:

• first plane: central wavelength of each pixel of the frame. This information is calculated through the on-ground spectral calibration measurements. The bands x sample matrix is expressed in floating precision in physical units (µm) and is generated by the calibration pipeline;
• second plane: FWHM of each pixel of the frame. The bands x sample matrix is expressed in floating precision in physical units (nm) and is generated by the calibration pipeline. During the on ground measurements the FWHM values were estimated only for the bands 93-96, 172-176, 412-415 for the VIS channel, and for bands 1-3, 212-215, 418-428 for the IR channel.
• third plane: flags identifying the quality of the signal of each pixel according to the following code (TBC):

This information is stored in a byte array of bands x sample elements by the calibration pipeline. The array is single precision floating point by construction, including this plane.

SCAN_MODE_ID                            Scan mirror mode identifier. It is an integer 
                                        in the range 0 to 10. 0 means that the mirror 
                                        has not been used. The VIR scan mirror performs, 
                                        when commanded, an angular movement around an 
                                        axis parallel to the slit direction (y direction). 
                                        There can be 10 different modes, each one 
                                        identifying a given angular movement.

                                        time step (i.e, to build a frame). The product 
                                        of EXPOSURE_DURATION and FRAME_SUMMING is the 
                                        total integration time for each frame.

      This document describes the plans for acquiring Dawn science data on the
      way to, and in orbit about, the two protoplanets 4 Vesta and 1 Ceres,   
      that will be visited by the Dawn spacecraft. It represents the high     
      level plan for Dawn mission science operations. An update to the        
      Science Plan is developed prior to arrival at each body. This version   
      contains an as-flown update for all mission phases through the Vesta    
      orbital phase."

Appendix C. Software that can be used to work with the data

Visualization of the VIR qubes

VIR qubes, both EDR and RDR, have a very simple format and can be visualized without difficulty with many codes. They are ISIS3_compliant. The VIR team is releasing the QubeReader, a Java code that can be downloaded from the website:

On the same website usage information is available.

Tutorials on using ISIS and ENVI to open the VIR .QUB files are available in the DOCUMENT directory of each of the VIR archive volumes.
