MSL: DAN (Dynamic Albedo of Neutrons)

April 17, 2013. The DAN RDR archive for sols 0-89 has been released and posted on this site.

The DAN RDR data have undergone a PDS peer review. Some of the recommendations from the review are still being addressed, so this data set is considered by PDS to be "In Lien Resolution". As the remaining liens are minor, the DAN RDRs are classified as Certified Data in PDS. These terms are defined on the Geosciences Node Holdings page.

March 28, 2013. The DAN EDR Software Interface Specification has been cleared and is now posted on this site. There are no other DAN EDR documents waiting for clearance.

March 20, 2013. The release of DAN derived (RDR) data from sols 0-89 has been delayed. The data will be posted here as soon as they become available to PDS.

March 8, 2013. The MSL EDR Archive Volume Software Interface Specification has been cleared and is now posted on this site.

February 27, 2013. MSL Release 1 includes DAN raw (EDR) data from sols 0-89.

The Dynamic Albedo of Neutrons (DAN) instrument is a pulsing neutron generator that can detect water content in the soil and resolve water and ice beneath the surface. DAN data sets are produced by the DAN Science Team at the Russian Federal Space Agency and the University of Arizona. DAN is a Russian Federal Space Agency instrument.
