Magellan Altimeter and Radiometry Composite Data Record
(ARCDR)

This PDS4 archive contains Magellan Altimetry and Radiometry Composite (ARCDR) products restored from the PDS dataset generated by the Magellan project in the 1990s and distributed on a set of 19 CD-ROMs. The original data products are binary data files stored using VAX data formats. The restored PDS4 bundle has converted the VAX format to IEEE binary format that is widely used by current computer systems. The PDS4 bundle also contains a number of browse products for each ARCDR product that are plots of selected parameters from the binary data files such as planetary radius and emissivity. The bundle contains a number of documents, some derived from the original CD-ROMS and a new user guide, which includes information about how the PDS4 bundle was generated.

The original PDS3 volumes will remain available at the links below for the time being.
