During the course of the MESSENGER mission the MLA 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 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: 14 RELEASE DATE: 2015-10-09 DATA COVERAGE: 2014-09-19 to 2014-04-30 (Mercury Orbit Year 4, Mercury Orbit Year 5) PRODUCT TYPES RELEASED FOR THIS ARCHIVE: MLA EDR PRODUCT TYPES UPDATED FOR THIS ARCHIVE: MLA EDR Two products are redelivered in this release.
