Magellan Altimeter and Radiometry Composite Data Record
(ARCDR)

This archive contains Altimetry and Radiometry Composite Data Records (ARCDR) and associate documentation relating to a span of 180 orbits of the Magellan spacecraft about the planet Venus. These files are generated at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and are organized by orbit number and, within each orbit, sequentially by time.

Data Set Producer

This archive was produced by Jason Hyon. Mike Martin (JPL), Gail Woodward (JPL), Peter Ford (MIT), Robert Mehlman (UCLA), and Jason Hyon (JPL) designed the PDS labels and the tables. Florence Moss (JPL) and Jason Hyon developed the software to generate the PDS labels and tables. Raymond Arvidson and Gail Woodward created the catalog templates, with help from Pam Woncik (JPL), Mary Dale-Bannister (Washington University), and Susan Slavney (Washington University). The data and documentation were generated at MIT by Peter Ford, Gordon Pettengill, Fang Liu, and Joan Quigley from data supplied by the Magellan Project.
