VO1/VO2 MARS VISUAL IMAGING SS EXPRMNT DATA RECORD V2.0

Listed in NASA Data Portal

This data set is a digital archive of images acquired by the Viking Orbiter 1 and 2 spacecraft.

Description

The archive will include the best available Experiment Data Record (EDR) versions of images acquired by the Viking Orbiter Visual Imaging Subsystems (VIS). The archive is stored on compact read-only optical disk media (CD-ROM) for distribution.

The EDR image data are stored on CD-ROM in a compressed format that allows exact reconstruction of the original image. The images were compressed in order to reduce the number of CD-ROMs required for the archive. The average Viking Orbiter image is compressed by a factor of about 3.5.

Each CD-ROM in the archive also includes documentation about the organization and contents of the disk. Software is included to provide programmers with tools to decompress image files. The CD-ROM has index files containing information about all the images stored in the archive.

These index files can be loaded into a database management system to help the user locate images of interest.
