MESSENGER: MASCS
|
April 15, 2009.
MESSENGER Release 4 includes MASCS EDR data and CDR
data acquired through the second Mercury flyby (Oct.
20, 2008). This is the first release to include CDR
data.

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, available from both nodes.
