Mars Global Surveyor: Science Sampler CD-ROM

The MGS Science Sampler CD-ROM was released early in the mission and contained data collected during the Orbit Insertion Phase of the mission. The intent was to provide users with samples of MGS data products from each instrument, to allow them to prepare for data products that would be delivered routinely after MGS achieved its mapping orbit. The collection included MGS data products from the Mars Orbiter Camera (MOC), the Mars Orbiter Laser Altimeter (MOLA), the Thermal Emission Spectrometer (TES), and the Magnetometer / Electron Reflectometer (MAG/ER). It also included two gravity models of Mars based on Mariner 9 and Viking data, which were later updated with the results of the MGS Radio Science Subsystem (RSS) observations. (No RSS data were collected during the Assessment Subphase, and none were available for release when this sampler collection was being assembled.) Finally, SPICE kernels and orbit nadir ground track files were included to allow the user to understand where data were acquired during the Assessment Subphase of the mission.
