LRO: Mini-RF
March 14, 2025. New Mini-RF
Bistatic Radar data (PDS4) are released, with
coverage from August 24 through September 21, 2022.
The Mini-RF team is converting observations prior
to ESM5 to PDS4, starting from most recent and
going backwards.
December 13, 2024.
The migrated
Mini-RF Bistatic Radar bundle
is released, with coverage from November 15, 2022,
through October 14, 2024. The PDS3 volumes will
remain available until all data are migrated.

Mini-RF is the Miniature Radio Frequency technology
demonstration of a miniaturized multi-mode dual frequency
dual polarization radar observatory. Mini-RF data sets are
produced by the Mini-RF Science Team at the Johns
Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory, Laurel,
MD.
Mini-RF Bistatic Radar Data (PDS4)
The Bistatic Radar data products are
being migrated to the PDS4 standard. As new
products are available they will be added to
the
Bistatic PDS4 bundle. The PDS3
data products will remain available on the
PDS3 volumes below until all bistatic radar
data are migrated.
The Bistatic PDS4 bundle contains new
data products that were not archived on the
old PDS3 volumes. These include calibration
and housekeeping products that may prove
useful to future researchers. In addition
the PDS4 dataset combines the real and
imaginary components of the calibrated data
product from two files from the PDS3 dataset
into one file in the new dataset; this makes
it easier for users to correlate the real
and imaginary components at each pixel
location. The PDS4 dataset also includes
browse JPGs of the derived data products to
allow the users to visualize the data before
delving into the data files.

All Other Mini-RF Data Sets (PDS3)
Except for the Bistatic Radar and Global
Mosaic data, all raw, calibrated and derived Mini-RF
data are stored together, aggregated in
groups of 100 orbits. Each directory of 100
orbits has subdirectories for raw,
calibrated, derived, and housekeeping data
as described below. The data are put online
in multiple archive volumes in time order,
as follows. Click the Volume ID below to go
to that volume. The INDEX directory of each
volume has both a volume-specific index and
a cumulative index.
