During the course of the MESSENGER mission the MASCS science team may update previously released data products or documentation; for example, updates may occur due to changes in calibration data or procedures. Updates will be reported in this file. Older versions of data and documentation will not be retained in the archive. Section A of this file contains an entry for each MESSENGER release (starting with release 5) with general information about the contents of the release, in order from newest to oldest. Updates to previously released files are reported in these entries, along with any known errata. Section B of this file contains general notes, if any, concerning the archive as a whole. ******** SECTION A ******** RELEASE NUMBER: Supplemental RELEASE DATE: 2017-05-26 DATA COVERAGE: 2011-09-03 (one product restored) PRODUCT TYPES RELEASED FOR THIS ARCHIVE: None.

Notes: 1. The following files, which had been inadvertently deleted from the archive, have been regenerated with this release: VIRSNE_ORB_11157_032454.DAT VIRSNE_ORB_11229_114642.DAT VIRSNE_ORB_11308_133521.DAT VIRSNE_OB2_12179_131349.DAT VIRSNE_OB2_12183_022516.DAT 2. The missing file UFE_MC4_27_10225_053004.DAT has been added to the archive. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- RELEASE NUMBER: 10 RELEASE DATE: 2013-09-06 DATA COVERAGE: 2012-09-18 to 2013-03-17 (Mercury Orbit Year 2) PRODUCT TYPES RELEASED FOR THIS ARCHIVE: MASCS VIRS/UVVS EDR PRODUCT TYPES UPDATED FOR THIS ARCHIVE: None. Notes: 1.

Notes: 1. MASCS HK EDR labels from 2012-03-18 to 2012-03-25 listed MISSION_PHASE_NAME as MERCURY_ORBIT rather than MERCURY_ORBIT_YEAR_2. This has been corrected, and the revised labels are included in this release. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- RELEASE NUMBER: 8 RELEASE DATE: 2012-09-07 DATA COVERAGE: 2011-09-18 to 2012-03-25 (Mercury Orbit, Mercury Orbit Year 2) PRODUCT TYPES RELEASED FOR THIS ARCHIVE: MASCS VIRS/UVVS EDR PRODUCT TYPES UPDATED FOR THIS ARCHIVE: MASCS VIRS EDR REASON FOR UPDATES: It was discovered that the TEMP_1 and TEMP_2 values were being created with insufficient significant digits. They were regenerated with three significant digits in order to capture the proper resolution of the temperature sensor. Notes: 1. All VIRS EDRs and their associated PDS labels have been redelivered in this release. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- RELEASE NUMBER: 7 RELEASE DATE: 2012-03-08 DATA COVERAGE: 2011-05-18 to 2011-09-17 (Mercury Orbit) PRODUCT TYPES RELEASED FOR THIS ARCHIVE: MASCS VIRS/UVVS EDR PRODUCT TYPES UPDATED FOR THIS ARCHIVE: MASCS UVVS EDR REASON FOR UPDATES: See notes below. Notes: 1. The following EDRs and their associated PDS labels have been redelivered in this release. They were regenerated to include orphan packets that were outside the original planned observation boundary. UME_EAF_00_05212_051629.DAT UME_EAF_00_05212_052229.DAT UFE_MC4_68_10340_152004.DAT The PRODUCT_VERSION_ID for these EDRs has been updated to "V2". 2. The file UFE_ORB_68_11124_152753.DAT was replaced by UFE_ORB_00_11124_152753.DAT due to an incorrect macro designation, which should be 00 for an undefined macro. 3. The file UVE_VF2_10_07156_225404.DAT was replaced by UVE_VF2_11_07156_225404.DAT, because it contains orphaned packets as well as packets that went into two observations by mistake. 4. The following EDRs have been deleted from the archive. UVE_VF2_11_07156_230933.DAT UVE_VF2_09_07156_231436.DAT Their data are now in UVE_VF2_11_07156_225404.DAT. 5. The files VIRS_MISSING_PACKETS.TXT and VIRS_VIS_EDR_MISSING_PACKET_ANALYSIS.XLS were renamed VIRS_MISSING_PACKETS_R6.TXT and VIRS_VIS_EDR_MISSING_PACKET_ANALYSIS_R6.XLS, respectively, to distinguish them from similar files added with this release. 3. Missing packets have been observed in a few VIRS data products for this release. Please see EXTRINFO.TXT, VIRS_NIR_MISSING_PACKETS_R7.TXT, and VIRS_VIS_MISSING_PACKETS_R7.TXT in the EXTRAS directory for more information. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- RELEASE NUMBER: 6 RELEASE DATE: 2011-09-15 DATA COVERAGE: 2009-12-08 to 2011-05-17 (Mercury Cruise 4, Mercury Orbit) PRODUCT TYPES RELEASED FOR THIS ARCHIVE: MASCS VIRS/UVVS EDR PRODUCT TYPES UPDATED FOR THIS ARCHIVE: MASCS VIRS/UVVS EDR REASON FOR UPDATES: 1. All MASCS UVVS and VIRS EDRs are redelivered with this release. 2. The UVVS EDRs are in a brand new format with a new file naming convention. PRODUCT_VERSION_ID = "V1". 3. The VIRS EDRs were regenerated to account for errors with missing packets, orphaned packets, and improper grouping of the data. EDRs that had been previously delivered are marked with PRODUCT_VERSION_ID = "V2". Notes: 1. The MASCS DATA directory structure has changed. The data are now organized by mission phase. Please see the data product SISs in the DOCUMENT directory for more information. 2. On MET 212889918 (May 3rd at 06:00:49 UTC), a fault protection rule fired and turned MASCS off. Some planned data were not taken, but no observations were truncated due to the event. Analysis concluded a single event upset corrupted operating code, and a power cycling of the instrument restored normal function. 3. Missing packets have been observed in a few VIRS VIS data products for this release. The MASCS team is currently working on a patch. Please see VIRS_MISSING_PACKETS.TXT in the EXTRAS directory for more information. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- RELEASE NUMBER: 5 RELEASE DATE: 2010-03-15 DATA COVERAGE: 2008-10-21 to 2009-10-12 (Mercury Cruise 3, Mercury Flyby 3) PRODUCT TYPES RELEASED FOR THIS ARCHIVE: MASCS VIRS/UVVS EDR PRODUCT TYPES UPDATED FOR THIS ARCHIVE: MASCS HOUSEKEEPING FILES REASON FOR UPDATES: 1. The discovery of duplicate records in the EDRs. The duplicate records were the result of the same packet being downloaded both in a real-time download and in a download from the SSR. 2. The recovery of missing packets that were found by a new PIPE feature which tracks packet files extracted from telemetry (*.STP) files.
