MESSENGER: MASCS
|
August 17, 2016.
An error was discovered in the photometric
normalization section of the MASCS calibration
pipeline. All photometrically corrected MASCS data
in VIRS DDRs and VIRS DAPs through PDS Release 15
are a factor of 2 too high in value. This error
will be corrected in Delivery 16. See
MASCS_PHOTOMETRIC_ERROR.PDF in the
DOCUMENT directory for information about the error
and how to correct it manually.
May 6, 2016.
MESSENGER Release 15 includes a complete redelivery
of all calibrated and derived MASCS products
covering the entire mission. See the
ERRATA.TXT file in the top-level
directory for details about this release.

MASCS is the Mercury Atmospheric and Surface
Composition Spectrometer instrument on MESSENGER. The data sets are produced by
the MASCS Science Team at Johns Hopkins University
Applied Physics Laboratory, Laurel, Maryland.
MASCS has two subsystems, UVVS (Ultraviolet and
Visible Spectrometer) and VIRS (Visible and Infrared
Spectrograph). UVVS data are archived by the PDS
Atmospheres Node, and VIRS data are archived by the PDS
Geosciences Node. Both data sets are stored on the same
archive volume, available from both nodes.
