Magellan Altimeter and
Radiometry Composite Data Record
(ARCDR)
This PDS4 archive contains Magellan
Altimetry and Radiometry Composite (ARCDR)
products restored from the PDS dataset
generated by the Magellan project in the
1990s and distributed on a set of 19
CD-ROMs. The original data products are
binary data files stored using VAX data
formats. The restored PDS4 bundle has
converted the VAX format to IEEE binary
format that is widely used by current
computer systems. The PDS4 bundle also
contains a number of browse products for
each ARCDR product that are plots of
selected parameters from the binary data
files such as planetary radius and
emissivity. The bundle contains a number of
documents, some derived from the original
CD-ROMS and a new user guide, which includes
information about how the PDS4 bundle was
generated.
The original PDS3 volumes will remain available at the links below for the
time being.
