END_OBJECT = TEXT END Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory (GRAIL) Raw Radio Science Data (RSS EDR) Archive Volume ============================================================================ Introduction ============================================================================ This archive (GRAIL_0201) contains raw radio science data, including Deep Space Network Doppler (DSN) tracking data and troposphere and ionosphere media calibrations. The data are NASA Level 0. The format and content of this and all GRAIL archive volumes are described in the GRAIL Archive Volume Software Interface Specification (ARCHSIS.PDF). The GRAIL Data Product Software Interface Specification (DPSIS.PDF) provides a detailed description of all GRAIL data products. These documents are located in the DOCUMENT directory. ============================================================================ Volume Format ============================================================================ All science data are located in the BOF, BTM, ODF, OLF, RSR, TNF, TDM, and XFR directories, with ancillary files in the ANCILLARY\EOP, ION, TRO, and WEA directories. The INDEX directory contains a listing of all of the data products included on the volume. The CATALOG directory contains PDS documentation describing the mission, spacecraft, instrument, and data set. Additional information on volume organization is given in the Archive Volume SIS (described above), and in the section 'Volume Contents' below. ============================================================================ File Formats ============================================================================ The data files on this volume are provided in binary format (various extensions). Each data file is also accompanied by a detached PDS label file (extension .LBL), an ASCII file containing information describing the data file and data record format. Catalog files (extension .CAT) are provided in ASCII format. Document files describing the volume and the data are given in ASCII and PDF formats. Text files, including data files of ASCII text and all labels (*.LBL) and tables (*.TAB), are delimited with carriage-return (ASCII 13) and line-feed (ASCII 10) pairs at the end of each line. Note that while both label and catalog files are ASCII, some operating systems will not recognize the .LBL and .CAT extensions as ASCII types. It may be necessary to either remap these extensions as ASCII in the system or text browser, or else to open the files from within the text browser. ============================================================================ Volume Contents ============================================================================ Directory Structure and Contents for RSS EDR Archive Volume The following illustration shows the directory structure overview for the RSS EDR archive volume, which bears the PDS-assigned volume ID GRAIL_0201. |===================================================================| | | | GRAIL-L-RSS-2-EDR-V1.0 (GRAIL_0201) | | | |===================================================================| | | | root | | | | | |- AAREADME.TXT | | |- ERRATA.TXT | | |- VOLDESC.CAT | | | | | |- [CATALOG] | | | |- CATINFO.TXT | | | |- MISSION.CAT | | | |- INSTHOST_A.CAT | | | |- INSTHOST_B.CAT | | | |- LGRS_A_INST.CAT | | | |- LGRS_B_INST.CAT | | | |- REF.CAT | | | |- PERSON.CAT | | | `- RSS_EDR_DS.CAT | | | | | |- [DOCUMENT] | | | |- DOCINFO.TXT | | | |- ARCHSIS.HTM | | | |- ARCHSIS.PDF | | | |- ARCHSIS.LBL | | | |- DPSIS.HTM | | | |- DPSIS.PDF | | | |- DPSIS.LBL | | | |- [DPSIS_IMAGES] | | | | |- IMAGE001.JPG | | | | |- IMAGE002.JPG | | | | |- IMAGE003.GIF | | | | |- IMAGE004.JPG | | | | |- IMAGE005.GIF | | | | |- IMAGE006.JPG | | | | |- IMAGE007.JPG | | | | |- IMAGE008.JPG | | | | |- IMAGE009.JPG | | | | |- IMAGE010.JPG | | | |- 090_REVC_1.TXT | | | |- 090_REVC_1.PDF | | | |- 090_REVC_1.LBL | | | |- 0159_SCIENCE_L5.TXT | | | |- 0159_SCIENCE_L5.LBL | | | |- [0159_SCIENCE_L5_IMAGES] | | | | |- 0159_SCIENCE2_1.JPG | | | | |- 0159_SCIENCE2_2.JPG | | | | |- 0159_SCIENCE2_3.JPG | | | | |- 0159_SCIENCE2_4.JPG | | | | |- 0159_SCIENCE2_5.JPG | | | | |- 0159_SCIENCE2_6.JPG | | | | |- 0159_SCIENCE2_7.JPG | | | |- 0161_TELECOMM_L5_8.TXT | | | |- 0161_TELECOMM_L5_8.PDF | | | |- 0161_TELECOMM_L5_8.LBL | | | |- 0171_TELECOMM_NJPL_L5.TXT | | | |- 0171_TELECOMM_NJPL_L5.PDF | | | |- 0171_TELECOMM_NJPL_L5.LBL | | | |- 0172_TELECOMM_CHDO_REVE_L5.TXT | | | |- 0172_TELECOMM_CHDO_REVE_L5.LBL | | | |- ATBD.PDF | | | |- ATBD.HTM | | | |- [ATBD_IMAGES] | | | | |- IMAGE001.PNG - IMAGE052.PNG | | | |- ATBD.LBL | | | |- BLACKJACKDLP.TXT | | | |- BLACKJACKDLP.PDF | | | |- BLACKJACKDLP.LBL | | | |- DSN006_MEDIALCAL_REV2.HTM | | | |- DSN006_MEDIALCAL_REV2.LBL | | | |- FORTNIGHT_CALCULATION.HTM | | | |- FORTNIGHT_CALCULATION.PDF | | | |- FORTNIGHT_CALCULATION.LBL | | | |- GPA_TD_D_71987_REVE.TXT | | | |- GPA_TD_D_71987_REVE.PDF | | | |- GPA_TD_D_71987_REVE.LBL | | | |- GRAIL_TIMING.HTM | | | |- GRAIL_TIMING.PDF | | | |- GRAIL_TIMING.LBL | | | |- [GRAIL_TIMING_IMAGES] | | | | |- GRAIL_TIMING_0.JPG | | | | |- GRAIL_TIMING_1.JPG | | | | |- GRAIL_TIMING_2.JPG | | | | |- GRAIL_TIMING_3.JPG | | | |- LIB_10_GRAIL_COORD_TRANS_REV1.TXT | | | |- LIB_10_GRAIL_COORD_TRANS_REV1.PDF | | | |- LIB_10_GRAIL_COORD_TRANS_REV1.LBL | | | |- NAV023_ODF_2_18_REV3.HTM | | | |- NAV023_ODF_2_18_REV3_FIG2_1.JPG | | | |- NAV023_ODF_2_18_REV3.LBL | | | |- ONCE_UPON_A_FORTNIGHT.TXT | | | |- ONCE_UPON_A_FORTNIGHT.PDF | | | |- ONCE_UPON_A_FORTNIGHT.LBL | | | |- RSDMAP.HTM | | | |- RSDMAP.LBL | | | |- SHADR.HTM | | | |- SHADR.LBL | | | |- SHBDR.HTM | | | |- SHBDR.LBL | | | |- SPK_MM_SIS.HTM | | | |- SPK_MM_SIS.LBL | | | |- T2_24_L5.HTM | | | |- T2_24_L5.LBL | | | |- [T2_24_L5_IMAGES] | | | | |- T2_24_IMG_0.JPG | | | | |- T2_24_IMG_1.JPG | | | | |- T2_24_IMG_2.JPG | | | |- TNFSIS.TXT | | | |- TNFSIS.LBL | | | |- TRACKINGDATAMESSAGESTANDARD.TXT | | | |- TRACKINGDATAMESSAGESTANDARD.PDF | | | |- TRACKINGDATAMESSAGESTANDARD.LBL | | | |- TRK_2_21_950831.TXT | | | `- TRK_2_21_950831.LBL | | | | | |- [INDEX] | | | |- INDXINFO.TXT | | | |- INDEX.LBL | | | `- INDEX.TAB | | | | | |- [CALIB] | | | |- CALINFO.TXT | | | |- GRAILCOMPONENTS.TXT | | | `- GRAILCOMPONENTS.LBL | | | | | |- [ANCILLARY] | | | |- [EOP] | | | |- [ION] | | | |- [TRO] | | | `- [WEA] | | | | | |- [BOF] | | | | | |- [BTM] | | | | | |- [ODF] | | | | | |- [OLF] | | | | | |- [RSR] | | | | | |- [TNF] | | | | | |- [TDM] | | | | | |- [XFR] | | | | | `- [EXTRAS] | | | |- EXTRINFO.TXT | | | `- FORTNIGHT_CALCULATION.XLS | |===================================================================| Directory Contents: Directory This is the top-level directory of the data volume.
