Chandrayaan 1
|
January 21, 2026.
The new Chandrayaan-1
Mini-RF PDS4 bundle,
urn:nasa:pds:ch1-orb_mini_rf,
supersedes the original bundle,
urn:nasa:pds:chand1-orb_mini_rf. The
new bundle includes minor updates to
the XML labels including revisions
to the bundle ID and context product
LIDs.

1 PDS4 Archives
Chandrayaan 1 archives in PDS
include the Mini-RF archive at the
Geosciences Node and the M3 archive
at the Cartography and Imaging
Sciences Node. The Mini-RF archives
have been migrated to the PDS4
standard.
The M3 archives are scheduled to be
migrated to PDS4 in 2023.
For Mini-RF, the original PDS3
data products, labels, and
documentation remain available in
their original archive volume,
CH1MRF_0xxx. The only
change is that PDS4 labels and
documentation have been added to the
archive. The original data files are
unchanged.
For more information about the
migration of the Mini-RF data, see
chan1_mrf_migration_notes.pdf.

Chandrayaan-1 was a lunar orbiter launched
by the Indian Space Research Organization
(ISRO) on October 22, 2008. It carried
instruments from ISRO and from several other
national space agencies, including two from
NASA, the Moon Mineralogy Mapper (M3) and the
Mini-RF (aka Mini-SAR, Forerunner). It also
carried an impactor. The mission ended
prematurely on August 29, 2009, after loss of
radio contact.
Chandrayaan-1 Mission Description
Instruments and Archives
Only the two NASA-sponsored experiments,
Mini-RF and M3, have archived data in the
PDS.
The ISRO Science Data Archive (ISDA)
maintains
science data archives for all Chandrayaan-1
instruments.
The
Lunar Orbital Data Explorer (ODE)
here at the Geosciences Node provides search
capabilities for the Mini-RF and M3 data
sets.
