Introduction This data set has been generated by NASA's Galileo Project in order to distribute the images acquired by the Solid State Imaging (SSI) camera to the scientists and later to the Planetary Data System (PDS). The collection consists of all images acquired by the Galileo spacecraft during the Earth1, Gaspra, Earth2, Ida and Shoemaker-Levy 9 (SL9) encounters. Included on disc GO_0016 are images of Ida and Dactyl acquired during the 1993 encounter, Jupiter during the SL9 impacts, and additional star and calibration data. This Galileo data set resides on a series of CD-ROM volumes and includes one disc of ancillary information (GO_0001). The Galileo SSI camera acquires data in a digital raster-format containing 800 scan lines and 800 samples per scan line. Each picture element (pixel) in the two dimensional image array is represented as an 8-bit value between 0 and 255, proportional to the amount of light detected at that point (with 0 being the least amount of light and 255 being the greatest amount of light). The camera is equipped with seven color filters and a clear filter such that images taken through complementary filters can be combined during ground processing to produce color images. To make full scientific use of the image collection, the radiometric and geometric properties of the camera system should be understood. All of the images in this collection are in the REDR file format described in section 4. The original telemetry data has been processed into raster-formatted files. Multiple versions of the files, derived from separate downlinks or playbacks, have been merged together into a file of the best data. The merged data has been processed according to the SSI Imaging Team specifications defined in VOLINFO.TXT. The ancillary disc, GO_0001, provides detailed documentation. This disc contains the most recent information including: a collection of scientific papers, articles, PDS Catalog Templates, a volume information description file, VOLINFO.TXT, and other information necessary for the understanding of images produced by the SSI camera. GO_0001 should be available in late 1995. Each of the remaining volumes contain approximately 800 images stored as VICAR files. A detached PDS label has been included for each image. Documentation files have been provided which inform the user about the organization and contents of each disc, and the definition of the labels. An index file has also been provided which contains information about the images in the data set. All PDS label formats and documentation are based on the Planetary Data System Data Preparation Workbook (D-7669, May 1991) and the Planetary Science Data Dictionary (D-7116, Rev. B, May 1991). A brief description of the PDS label is described in the PDSLABEL.TXT file. The VICAR label is described in the VICAR2.TXT file. Both text files are located in the DOCUMENT directory. 2. Disc Format Each CD-ROM disc has been formatted such that a variety of computer systems (e.g. IBM PC, Macintosh, Sun, VAX) may access the data. Specifically, the discs are formatted according to the ISO 9660 level 1 Interchange Standard, and file attributes are specified by Extended Attribute Records (XARs). For computer software that fully supports XARs, access to the CD-ROM volume will be straightforward; the disc will appear to the user to be identical to a file system of directories, subdirectories and data files. Some computer systems that do not support XARs will ignore them; others will append the XAR to the beginning of the file, in which case the user must read past the first 512 bytes of the file. For further information, refer to the ISO 9660 Standard Document: RF# ISO 9660-1998, 15 April 1988. 3. CD-ROM Contents The files on this CD-ROM are organized in one top-level directory with several subdirectories. The following table shows the structure and contents of these directories. In the table, directory names are enclosed in square brackets ([]), upper-case letters indicate an actual directory or filename and lower-case letters indicate the general form of the directory file names. It should be noted that the REDO directory may exist on a CD-ROM. This REDO directory contains those files from earlier discs which have been identified as having bad data, bad label information or missing. The new updated file has been placed in the REDO directory. The index table also contains the appropriate information regarding the new version of the file. An additional text file, AAREADME.SL9, has been provided in the top level directory of volume GO_0016 to explain processing of the Shoemaker-Levy 9 on-chip mosaic images. Top-level directory | |-AAREADME.TXT - A text file containing general information. | |-AAREADME.SL9 - (Only on volume GO_0016) A text file containing information | specific to the Shoemaker-Levy 9 encounter. | |-VOLDESC.SFD - Brief description of the contents of this CD-ROM volume. | |-[DOCUMENT] - Directory containing text files which describes the GLL | | Mission, Instruments, Processing and Data Products. | | | |- BADDATA.TXT - Describes the binary Bad-Data Value header. | | | |- CATSTAT.TXT - Describes status of SPICE info in labels. | | | |- VICAR2.TXT - Describes the VICAR2 image label. | | | |- PDSLABEL.TXT - Describes the PDS label format. | |-[INDEX] - Directory containing an index file for searching for | | specific images. | | | |- IMGINDEX.TAB - A tabular file describing basic information about | | each image. | | | |- IMGINDEX.LBL - A detached PDS label describing the contents of index | | table. | | | |- SL9INDEX.TXT - (Only on volume GO_0016) A text file providing the | | correlation of key fields essential to analysis of | | Shoemaker-Levy 9 data. | |-[LABEL] - Directory containing image engineering information. | | | |- RTLMTAB.FMT - A PDS format describing the binary telemetry label for | | the REDR. | | | |- RLINEPRX.FMT - A PDS format describing the binary line prefix | | information for the REDR. | |-[EARTH] - The image data files are arranged into directories based on [EMCONJ] the predicted target or activity of each image. The [GASPRA] directories for this data set include: EARTH, EMCONJ, GASPRA [GOPEX] GOPEX, IDA, MOON, PROC_CAL, RAW_CAL, REDO and SL9. The files [IDA] are further divided into subdirectories based on the [MOON] spacecraft clock of each image. [PROC_CAL] [RAW_CAL] [REDO] [SL9] | |- [Crrrrrr] - These subdirectories have names of the form Crrrrrr | where C indicates a spacecraft clock count follows, | rrrrrr is the first 6 of 8 digits of the RIM count | of the image files. Example: C006104 | |- rrmmR.IMG;1 - Each image data file has a unique name based | on the last 2 digits of the image file | RIM count appended with the MOD 91 count. | The R specifies the image is in a REDR format. | IMG specifies the file is the VICAR image | file. Example: 0145R.IMG;1 | |- rrmmR.LBL;1 - The file containing the detached PDS label for | the image data file with the same name. | |- rrmmG.IMG;1 - (GO_0016 only) The graphics file providing the | correlation between playback images and shutter | events for Shoemaker-Levy 9. | |- rrmmG.LBL;1 - (GO_0016 only) The file containing the detached | PDS label for the graphics data file with the same | name. 4. Formats There are two types of experiment data records which may be produced by MIPS (Multimission Image Processing Subsystem) for the Galileo SSI Team: the EDR (Experiment Data Record) and the REDR (Raw Experiment Data Record). For the purpose of this data set, only REDR data are included. See the SSI Raw Experiment Data Record Software Interface Specification located on volume GO_0001. The REDR data are generated by MIPS using procedures specifically developed or adapted for Galileo. The files are generated on a VAX and are written in VAX compatible (LSByte first) format. REDR FILE FORMAT ------------------ The Galileo REDR format was originally reserved for SSI calibration data or data which should not be radiometrically corrected. The SSI Team recently determined that the REDR format will be used to archive all raw SSI data. Figure 1: REDR File Format Diagram ------------------------------------------------------------------------- | VICAR LABEL | | | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- | BINARY HEADER | | (Telemetry header record & Bad-Data Value Header Records) | | | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | | | | | | BINARY | IMAGE DATA | | PREFIX | (Pixels) | | (Line Header) | 800 or 400 bytes per line | | 200 bytes per line | 800 or 400 line records | | 800 or 400 line | | | records | | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Each REDR file consist of a VICAR label, the telemetry header, the bad-data value header records (if there are any), and the Image Data which is preceded by a Binary Prefix. There are 800 line records of image data. All records are fixed length. The line record length is 1000 bytes; 200 bytes of a binary line prefix and 800 bytes of 8 bit pixel data. (Note, for the AI8 format or summation mode, the record length is still 1000, but the data is placed in the first 400 pixel samples and 400 lines only.) There will be a one-to-one correspondence between line records and image lines. Data not received will be zero-filled. The BINARY HEADER is composed of a Telemetry header and a Bad-Data Value Header containing ancillary information specific to the image. The TELEMETRY HEADER is split into two physical records. The first 1000 bytes are placed in the first physical record after the VICAR label, and the last 800 bytes are placed in the next physical record. The last 200 bytes are zero filled. The BAD-DATA VALUE HEADER is composed of records describing several types of bad data values. Each record describes only one type and depending on the number of bad pixels, they may span over several physical records. Each record is identified by the Record IDS field which is located at byte 0. See the REDR Software Interface Specification (SIS) (D-232-12; M. White; 9 July 1993) for a further description of the REDR format located on GO_0001. Also see the VICAR2.TXT, BADDATA.TXT and CATSTATUS.TXT files located in the DOCUMENT directory. 5. Text Files, PDS Labels, and Tabular Files All document files and detached label files contain a carriage return character (ASCII 13) and a line feed character (ASCII 10) at the end of each record. This allows the files to be read by the MacOS, DOS, Unix, and VMS operating systems. Tabular files are also described by a detached PDS label. The PDS label file has the same name as the data file it describes, with the extension .LBL; for example, the file IMGINDEX.TAB is accompanied by the detached label file IMGINDEX.LBL in the same directory. The detached PDS labels for REDR images contain information pertaining to the image. Tabular files are formatted so that they may be read directly into many database management systems on various computers. All fields are separated by commas, and character fields are enclosed in double quotation marks ("). Character fields are left justified, and numeric fields are right justified. The "start byte" and "bytes" values listed in the labels do not include the commas between fields or the quotation marks surrounding character fields. The records are of fixed length, and the last two bytes of each record contain the ASCII carriage return and line feed characters. This allows a table to be treated as a fixed length record file on computers that support this file type and as a normal text file on other computers. 6.
