Planetary Data System (PDS) Archive Bundle

Overview
========

This bundle contains the following collections.

    data_raw_spectra: Uncalibrated Laser-Induced Breakdown 
    Spectroscopy (LIBS), Visible and Infrared Passive Spectroscopy 
    (VISIR and IR), Raman Spectroscopy, and Time-Resolved
    Luminescence Spectroscopy (TRLS) data products
    
    data_raw_rmi: Uncalibrated images from the SuperCam 
    Remote Micro-Imager (RMI)
    
    data_raw_audio: Uncalibrated acoustic recordings from 
    the SuperCam microphone
    
    data_calibrated_spectra: Calibrated LIBS, VISIR, IR, 
    Raman, and TRLS spectra
    
    data_radcal_rmi: Partially radiometrically corrected 
    RMI images
    
    data_calibrated_audio: Calibrated acoustic recordings
    
    data_derived_spectra: LIBS element abundances; VISIR 
    and IR data ratioed to a calibration target; tables of 
    likely and possible mineral identifications from Raman
    and TRLS spectra
    
    data_special_rmi: RMI mosaics with positions of 
    observations noted; Mastcam images with outlines of 
    RMI images overlaid
    
    data_observation_log: Master spreadsheet of target 
    information
    
    document: Descriptions of the SuperCam data products 
    and the archive bundle organization

    calibration_supercam: Supercam LIBS calibration data used for MOC
    
Data Products and PDS Labels
============================

Every SuperCam data product is accompanied by a PDS label in a file with 
the same name as the data file, but with the extension ".xml", as PDS 
labels are written in XML (Extended Markup Language). The labels may 
be viewed in a text editor or web browser, preferably one that applies 
special formatting to XML files to make them more readable. The labels 
may also be read by software that can interpret XML. 

All SuperCam data products are FITS files (Flexible Image Transport 
System, https://fits.gsfc.nasa.gov/). Thus they may also be read by
software that reads FITS files.

Raw images from the RMI camera are archived primarily in the 
collection data_rmi_imgops in the m2020_imgops bundle. For 
cross-reference, the images are listed as secondary members of 
the collection data_raw_rmi here in the m2020_SuperCam bundle. 

Documentation
=============
       
The SuperCam Bundle Software Interface Specification in the 
document collection describes the contents, format, and structure 
of the bundle. Users who are unfamiliar with PDS archives should 
read this first.

The SuperCam EDR and RDR Software Interface Specification (SIS) 
in the document collection describes the data products generated 
by the SuperCam instrument suite, including how they are processed 
and labeled, the format of the data products and their labels, and 
applicable standards. The SIS is a very detailed document intended 
for use in mission operations as well as by end users of the archive.

The SuperCam PDS User Guide in the document collection summarizes 
information from the SIS that is likely to be most useful to the user.

Each document and data product in this bundle is described by a PDS4
label in a separate file with the same name but with the extension
"xml". PDS4 labels are XML (eXtended Markup Language) files that 
conform to the PDS4 Information Model XML schema at 
https://pds.nasa.gov/pds4/schema/released/. They are best viewed 
in an XML-aware text editor, and may be used by software that can 
manipulate XML documents.
