MESSENGER: MASCS
|
July 11, 2008. MESSENGER Release
3 includes MASCS EDR data acquired from the second Venus
flyby through the first Mercury flyby (June 5, 2007-
January 14, 2008). MASCS CDR (calibrated) data are also
available in Release 3, but are still in validation. See
below.

MASCS is the Mercury Atmospheric and Surface
Composition Spectrometer instrument on MESSENGER. The data sets are produced by
the MASCS Science Team at Johns Hopkins Universtiy
Applied Physics Laboratory, Laurel, Maryland.
MASCS has two subsystems, UVVS (Ultraviolet and
Visible Spectrometer) and VIRS (Visible and Infrared
Spectrograph). UVVS data are archived by the PDS
Atmospheres Node, and VIRS data are archived by the PDS
Geosciences Node. Both data sets are stored on the same
archive volume.
