Welcome to the Mars Archive Page!

MSL DATASETS:


Mars Science Lab (MSL, Curiosity) Rover Environmental Monitoring Station
(REMS) raw data (EDR, mslrem_0001) and reduced data (RDR, mslrem_1001).
These volumes currently contain the first 938 sols of landed data from the REMS instrument. mslrem_0001, mslrem_1001

UVRDR (Corrected UV Fluxes RDR): This RDR contains only data coming from the UV Sensor, using an alternative processing to data found in the MODRDR. This alternative processing corrects UV fluxes for dust deposition over the sensor and inaccuracies in the original calibration function for solar zenith angles < 55.













PHOENIX DATASETS:

PHOENIX MET/LIDAR raw data (EDR) and reduced data (RDR). These volumes
contain the first 30 sols of landed data from the MET pressure & temperature
sensors (P&T) and from the MET LIDAR instrument.
phmt_0001, phld_0001

These volumes
contain sols 31-90 of landed data from the MET pressure & temperature
sensors (P&T) and from the MET LIDAR instrument.
phmt_0002, phld_0002

These volumes
contain sols 91-150 of landed data from the MET pressure & temperature
sensors (P&T) and from the MET LIDAR instrument.

PHOENIX Atmospheric Structure Experiment (ASE) raw data (EDR). This volume
contains the raw data from the Entry, Descent & Landing phase of the ASE instrument.
phxase_0001

PHOENIX Atmospheric Structure Experiment (ASE) reduced data (RDR). This volume
contains the reduced data from the Entry, Descent & Landing phase of the ASE instrument.
phxase_0002

PDS4
All ATMOS Phoenix holdings have been migrated to the new Planetary Data System Version 4 (PDS4) archive and can be accessed here: Phoenix (PDS4)

MRO DATASETS:


Accelerometer
mroa_0001 MRO Accelerometer raw and reduced data. This directory contains the data from the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) accelerometer experiment. It includes raw data from aerobraking. It also includes reduced data in the form of "profile" and "altitude" data sets.

Radio Science
mrors_2001 MRO Radio Science derived data. This directory contains temperature-pressure profile derived data from the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) Radio Science experiment.

MRO MCS Derived Data Records (DDR) Version 5 (September 2017)
Note: The DERIVED Data Record (DDR) archive available here is referred to as Version 5. The previous Atmospheres Node DDR archive was referred to as Version 2. There is not and will not be a PDS Version 3 DDR archive.

This designation of Version 5 makes use of the same versioning designation that is employed by the MCS Team. Specification within published journal papers of MCS data versions employed have generally been referencing the MCS team versioning. The MCS PDS archive version is now synchronized with that of the MCS Team.

The DATASET.CAT document's description of version updates now uses the versioning format of the MCS Team. Previous DATASET.CAT files within the PDS archive used the PDS versioning format, but if you compare the currrent DATASET.CAT document with a previous document you will see that the descriptions of the updates are basically unchanged but the version number at which they were implemented has possibly changed.

This version of the data is signficantly more complete than previous versions in terms of the number of profiles and the coverage (both laterally and vertically). The major changes are the use of a climatological surface pressure (if pressure cannot be retrieved) and extending the vertical range over which aerosols are retrieved. The latter affects ice at all seasons and dust during large dust storms. In addition, an issue causing anomalously warm temperatures under conditions of large aerosol opacities was fixed. The detailed changes are listed in the DATASET.CAT file in the documents directory.

The data are packaged in an Earth-month Volume structure, with the data therein subdivided into individual Earth-day folders during the month and then into 6 data files per day, so each ASCII file contains 4 hours of time coverage, with one day's 6 files contained within a single day-of-month folder. Data are currently available from September 2006 (mrom_2001) through October 31, 2023 (mrom_2206).

The MCS team strongly recommends downloading the new version of the profiles for any research projects.

      The data are now CERTIFIED for use under NASA DAP proposals.
