Information

These two CD-ROMs contain Viking Lander EDR (Experiment Data Record) images and ancillary files. Images returned by Viking Lander 1 are archived on volume 1 of this two-volume set, whereas Viking Lander 2 images are archived on volume 2. Each volume also contains a complete set of documentation and errata files that describe the archive and EDR images. Each EDR image has an attached PDS label that describes the file structure and instrument parameters used for that image.

The images are raw, black and white, and range from wide field panoramas to close-ups of rocks, the footpads, trenching experiments, etc. The CD-ROMs contain all recoverable images from the both cameras from each Lander.

EDR products archived on this volume are copies of images released by the Viking Project. The data were recovered from the original 9-track tapes made for the Lander imaging team. The file format, however, has been converted from the original VICAR format to a PDS format. Errors and anomalies in reading the original tapes are noted where detected.

The CD-ROM has been formatted so that a variety of computer systems (e.g., PC, Macintosh, and Sun) may access the data. Specifically, it is formatted according to the ISO-9660 level 1 Interchange Standard. For further information, refer to the ISO-9660 Standard Document: RF# ISO 9660-1988, April 15, 1988.

This CD-ROM does not contain any Extended Attribute Records (XAR). Thus, VAX/VMS users may have some problems accessing files on this volume.

The image browser contained on this volume is a hypertext based system that provides a simple quick-look capability. The system consists of an HTML page for each image that displays a GIF version of the image and its respective label data.
