| The ROSES 2013 Mars Data Analysis Program Appendix C.12 specifies that: | |
 | |
| The objective of the Mars Data Analysis Program (MDAP) is to enhance the scientific return from missions to Mars conducted by NASA and other space agencies. These include, but are not limited to, the following missions: Mars Pathfinder (MPF), Mars Global Surveyor (MGS), Mars Odyssey (MO), Mars Exploration Rovers (MERs), Mars Express (MEX), Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO), and Phoenix (PHX). MDAP broadens scientific participation in the analysis of mission data sets and funds high-priority areas of research that support planning for future Mars missions. MDAP supports scientific investigations of Mars using publicly available (released) data. In addition, MDAP supports correlative studies that use Mars data from another source, in addition to flight mission data, to further the understanding of some aspect of Mars science. | |
| |
| The research solicitation states: | |
| MDAP 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) 30 days prior to the submission due date for MDAP proposals. Spacecraft data that have not been placed in the public domain may not be proposed for use in MDAP investigations. In all cases, it is the responsibility of the MDAP investigator to acquire any necessary data. Therefore, before submitting a proposal, each proposer must determine that the necessary data are available. Whether from the PDS or another source, if the data to be analyzed are not certified or otherwise have issues that might represent an obstacle to analysis, the proposers must clearly demonstrate that such potential difficulties can be overcome. | |
