The ROSES 2010 Outer Plantes Data Analysis Program Appendix C.7, specifies that:
The objective of the Planetary Mission Data Analysis Program (PMDAP) is to enhance the scientific return of Planetary Science Division missions by broadening the scientific participation in the analysis of archived data collected by those missions.In addition, this program supports the analysis of archived planetary data from other NASA SMD missions.

The following planetary missions are a representative, but not complete, list of missions for which archived data is available in the PDS:   Dawn, Deep Impact, Deep Space 1, EPOXI, Galileo(asteroid flyby data), Giotto, Hayabusa, Magellan, MESSENGER, Near Earth Asteroid Rendezvous (NEAR), Pioneer Venus and Stardust-NEXT. Other missions with archived planetary data not covered by other data analysis programs may include, but are not limited to:   Cosmic Background Explorer (COBE), Far Ultraviolet Astronomy Explorer (FUSE), Infrared Astronomical Satellite (IRAS), Infrared Space Observatory (ISO), International Ultraviolet Explorer (IUE), Midcourse Space Experiment (MSX), Rosetta, and SOHO.
The PMDAP is not intended to overlap other active data analysis programs. Thus the PMDAP does not support the analysis of:
Lunar data (see the Lunar Advanced Science and Exploration Research (LASER) program in Appendix C.8);
Mars data obtained by missions to Mars (see the Mars Data Analysis Program (MDAP) in Appendix C.12);
Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune system phenomena (see the Outer Planets Research (OPR) program in Appendix C.7);
Data from Cassini (see the Cassini Data Analysis Program (CDAP) in Appendix C.10);
Data from the New Horizons, Galileo, Voyager, Pioneer, and Ulysses missions (see the Outer Planets Research (OPR) program in Appendix C.7).
Mission data are available from the Planetary Data System (PDS).
The research solicitation states:
It is the responsibility of the investigators selected for this program to acquire any needed data. Therefore, before submitting a proposal, the investigator should determine that required data are available. PMDAP supports investigations that use only publicly available and released data. Data to be used in proposed investigations must be available in the Planetary Data System (PDS) or other publicly accessible archive(s), such as related planetary data in the NASA astrophysics data archives, 30 days prior to the submission due date for PMDAP proposals...

Data accessible in PDS or other archives that are still in "liens resolution" are not considered archived and their analysis will not be supported by this program.
Data accessible from this page meet these criteria. Data elsewhere on the PPI site may still be in lien resolution.

Other Data Within PDS
Data from the various missions 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 have additional information (may be in lien resolution):
Atmospheres Node
Imaging Node
Rings Node
Small Bodies Node
Ancillary data (SPICE files) for Cassini can be obtained from the NAIF Node
