How to Get Cassini Data

As Cassini science data are delivered to the PDS they will be posted online for downloading, and this page will be updated with links to the data.

Subscribe to the PDS Data Notification Service to receive an email message whenever new Cassini data become available.

Note: This system is currently only available for Odyssey users, not Cassini.

The PDS is developing a new online data distribution system, PDS-D, to provide online search and download capabilities across all PDS nodes. The system will debut in October 2002 with access to Odyssey data sets, to be expanded later to include access to all PDS archives.


Cassini Archive Plan

The Cassini Archive Plan describes the generation, validation, and distribution of Odyssey science archives.

PDS Catalog Information about Cassini

Cassini science data archives are delivered to PDS along with descriptions of the mission, spacecraft, instruments, and data sets. The descriptions are entered in the PDS Catalog to provide detailed information to users searching for Cassini data.

Here are the current versions of the mission and spacecraft ("instrument host") catalog descriptions for Cassini, along with references mentioned in the descriptions.
