The objective of the Cassini Data Analysis program (CDAP) is to enhance the scientific return of the Cassini mission by broadening the scientific
participation in the analysis and interpretation of the data returned by the mission. This program solicits research proposals to conduct scientific
investigations utilizing data obtained by the Cassini and Huygens spacecraft.
In order to be considered, proposing PIs must use data that are in the public domain 90 days before the CDAP proposals due date, and they must make clear to the peer reviewers that the data are publicly available. This applies to the first year of proposed work only. It is understood that the second or third year of work will address data that have come into the archive during the first year of the investigation. Data that are otherwise in the public domain via open literature publications and other freely available sources are also eligible. Proposals must be focused on the Saturn system and make significant use of data returned by Cassini instruments. In the first two years of the CDAP program data from the Cassini Jupiter flyby in 2000 were eligible. This is no longer true. Proposals that address Jupiter data should be directed to the Outer Planets Research program. | |
| |
| The research solicitation states: | |
| It is the responsibility of the proposers to CDAP to specifically identify any needed data and to ascertain that these data are available. Proposals dealing with mission data should provide convincing evidence that the data has sufficient quality and is available in sufficient quantity to achieve the goals set forth in the proposal. | |
| |
| Mission data are available from the Planetary Data System (PDS). | |

| Other Data Within PDS | |
| Data from the various instruments are curated and maintained by PDS Discipline Nodes for which the data is relevant. Those nodes generally provide data set and discipline specific information. | |
| |
| The following Discipline Nodes also have Cassini information pages: | |
|
Atmospheres Node Imaging Node Rings Node Small Bodies Node | |
| |
| Ancillary data (SPICE files) for Cassini can be obtained from the NAIF Node | |
