Each catalog object is in ASCII, with a maximum of 80 characters per line delimited with a carriage-return (ASCII 13) line-feed (ASCII 10), as follows: INSTHOST.CAT Description of the spacecraft and Deep Space Network dishes. MISSION.CAT Outline of the mission, identifying phases. NLRINST.CAT Sescriptions for the NEAR Laser Ranger instrument. PERSON.CAT A list of people involved in analyzing the radio data and in producing the archival data set. DATASET.CAT A description of the NLR gravity and shape models. REF.CAT A list of radio science/gravity publication references (in files RS*DS.CAT) which summarize the analysis and results based on these datasets.
