NASA Planetary Data System (PDS) - cpshooter/geoML GitHub Wiki
The Planetary Data System (PDS) is a NASA organization that archives science data from NASA’s planetary missions.
- To help NASA missions and other data providers to organize and document their digital planetary data,
- To collect complete, well-documented planetary data into archives that are peer-reviewed,
- To make the planetary data available and useful to the science community,
- To ensure the long-term preservation and usability of the data.
NASA’s Planetary Data System (PDS) Geosciences Node’s Orbital Data Explorer (ODE) provides map and forms-based search, retrieve, and order function for PDS-compliant archives from a variety of spacecraft instrument observations. Mars ODE includes observations from Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO), the European Space Agency’s Mars Express (MEX), Mars Odyssey, the Mars Global Surveyor (MGS), and the Viking Orbiter (VO) spacecraft. The MRO mission is characterized by very high data volumes and complex observation plans relative to previous planetary missions. Mercury ODE includes observations from the MESSENGER (Mercury Surface, Space Environment, Geochemistry and Ranging) spacecraft. Lunar ODE includes observations from the Clementine, Lunar Prospector, the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO), and ISRO's Chandrayaan-1, and Lunar Orbiter (LO) spacecraft . Venus ODE includes data from the Magallen and MESSENGER spacecraft. Mars ODE includes observations from Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO), the European Space Agency’s Mars Express (MEX), Mars Odyssey, the Mars Global Surveyor (MGS), and the Viking Orbiter (VO) spacecraft. The MRO mission is characterized by very high data volumes and complex observation plans relative to previous planetary missions. Mercury ODE includes observations from the MESSENGER (Mercury Surface, Space Environment, Geochemistry and Ranging) spacecraft. Lunar ODE includes observations from the Clementine, Lunar Prospector, the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO), and ISRO's Chandrayaan-1, and Lunar Orbiter (LO) spacecraft . Venus ODE includes data from the Magallen and MESSENGER spacecraft. ODE is designed to augment the existing PDS search and retrieval interface by providing advanced search, retrieve, and order tools, integrated analysis tools, and visualization tools.
