Information
This single volume CD-ROM contains science data products from
observations acquired by Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) instruments
between 15 September 1997 and 21 January 1998 (MGS orbits 3
through 100). This Science Sampler Collection is intended to provide
users with samples of MGS data products from each instrument to allow
them to prepare for data products after MGS achieves its mapping orbit
in March 1999.
The collection includes MGS data products from the Mars Orbiter
Camera (9 full resolution images as well as finder images and a global
locator map), the Mars Orbiter Laser Altimeter (raw and calibrated data
from 18 orbits, including topographic profiles), the Thermal Emission
Spectrometer (calibrated data from 16 orbits, including 25-micron
temperature images), and the Magnetometer / Electron Reflectometer
(plots of derived electron and magnetic field data from 18 orbits). It also
includes two gravity models of Mars based on Mariner 9 and Viking data
(tables of spherical harmonic coefficients and a gravity map), which will
be updated with the results of the MGS Radio Science Subsystem
observations. (No radio science data were available for release when this
sampler collection was being assembled.) Finally, SPICE kernels and
orbit nadir ground track files are included to allow the user to understand
where data were acquired.
