Magellan Full-Resolution Basic Image Data Record (F-BIDR)

June 26, 2026. The Magellan F-BIDR dataset has been migrated to a PDS4 bundle.

January 14, 2026.
The Magellan F-BIDR dataset has been updated. Additional F-BIDRs were added to volumes MG_4103 and MG_4539. The final cumulative index file was also updated.

The F-BIDRs are full-resolution images in the form of long, narrow, almost pole-to-pole swaths. These swaths are pieced together to generate the image mosaics (F-MIDRs, C1-, C2-, and C3-MIDRs) for easier viewing.

The original PDS3 volumes have been migrated to PDS4. The PDS3 volumes will remain available at the links below for the time being.
