The ROSES 2013 Planetary Mission Data Analysis Program Appendix C.11, 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 and non-NASA missions.

TThe 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); or
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:
PMDAP supports scientific investigations that use only data available in the Planetary Data System (PDS) or other publicly accessible archive(s), such as planetary data in the NASA astrophysics data archives. The data must be archived and publicly available 30 days prior to the submission deadline for PMDAP proposals. Spacecraft data that have not been placed in such archives may not be proposed for use in PMDAP investigations. In all cases, it is the responsibility of the PMDAP investigator to acquire any necessary data.

Data products accessible in the PDS must be designated "certified" (ready for scientific use) in order to be eligible for the PMDAP (see Appendix C.1). Data products accessible in archives other than the PDS that are still in liens resolution are not considered archived and their analysis will not be supported by the PMDAP.
Data accessible from this page meet these criteria. Data elsewhere on the PPI site may still be in lien resolution.
