PDS_VERSION_ID = PDS3 RECORD_TYPE = STREAM OBJECT = TEXT PUBLICATION_DATE = 2011-11-17 NOTE = "This is the aareadme.txt introductory file for the ROSETTA MIDAS instrument data set (= data volume) with the ID RO-X-MIDAS-3-EAR3-PC10-V1.0 submitted to PDS." END_OBJECT = TEXT END Introduction =================== This volume contains the data products of the ROSETTA MICRO-IMAGING DUST ANALYSIS SYSTEM (MIDAS) instrument. It contains Payload Checkout 10 Data covering the time range from 2009-09-20T16:45:00 to 2009-09-27T02:05:00. New data will be added on subsequent data sets as they become available. This volume also contains documentation describing the MIDAS instrument. Supporting documents and label files for the MIDAS data products conform to the Planetary Data System (PDS) Standards Version 3.6. Users of these data are encouraged to acknowledge both the PDS and the principal investigators of the instruments whose data are used in analysis in all publications. Volume Format =================== This volume has been formatted according to the ISO-9660 level 2 Interchange Standard. This volume does not contain any Extended Attribute Records (XAR). Thus, some VAX/VMS users may have problems accessing files on this volume. File Formats =================== All document files and detached label files are stream format files, with a carriage return (ASCII 13) and a line feed character (ASCII 10) at the end of the record. This allows the files to be read by the MacOS, DOS, Unix, and VMS operating systems. All tabular files are also described by PDS labels, either embedded at the beginning of the file or detached. If detached, the PDS label file has the same name as the data file it describes, with the extension .LBL; for example, the file HK1_xxx.TAB is accompanied by the detached label file HK1_xxx.LBL in the same directory. Volume content =================== The files on this volume are organized in one top-level directory with several subdirectories. The following table shows the structure and content of these directories. In the table, directory names are enclosed in square brackets ([]), upper-case letters indicate an actual directory or file name, and lower-case letters indicate the general form of a set of directory or file names. See the *INFO.TXT files in each directory for specific information on the files in the directory.
