The EXTRAS directory contains additional files provided by data preparer
for a better understanding of the data and data processing.
The .AUX files in the folder ESOC, and the .LOG files in the subfolder
RSI are ASCII files. More information see below.
The files evolved as the mission progressed; users should refer to the
files on the most recent (highest numbered) archive volume for the most
up-to-date information. Files on early volumes may be only 'place-holders.'
Structure of the EXTRAS directory:

| |- RSI
| | |
| | |-LOGFILES These are LOGFILES which contain
| | information about the level 2 Doppler and
| | Ranging data processing. These filenames have
| | file extension .LOG (these are text files)
| | and they have except for the file
| | extension the same file names as the
| | corresponding Level 2 data files.
| | If unfortunately no X- or S-band is available
| | for one measurement (but the processing
| | software requires one), a X- or S-band file
| | from another day is used. Therefore, the
| | residuals and their corresponding standard
| | deviations may have strange values, which are
| | not correct. This is also documented in the
| | LOGFILES.
| | It is possible that the differential Doppler
| | has very bad values (e.g. high noise level)
| | for Gravity measurements, and can therefore
| | not be used for Plasma corrections. The
| | measurement is then processed like an
| | Occultation measurement using the Klobuchar
| | Coefficients for correction. This is the
| | reason why in the LOGFILES sometimes
| | Occultation is written although this is a
| | Gravity measurement.

---------------------------------------
Original file name:
ORHM_FDxMMx_DA______________vvvvv.MEX
New MaRS and PDS compliant file name:
M00ESOCL1A_OHC_yydddhhmm_vv.AUX
The data source identifier is set to tttt = ESOC, the data type identifier
is set to sss = OHC for the heliocentric cruise orbit file. The sequence
number is equal to the version number of the original file name. The extension
is set to eee = AUX.
=======================================
MEX MARS CENTRIC ORBIT FILE
---------------------------------------
File name
Original file name:
ORMM_FDxMMx_DA_yymmddhhmmss_vvvvv.MEX
New MaRS and PDS compliant file name:
M00ESOCL1A_OMO_yydddhhmm_vv.AUX
The data source identifier is set to tttt = ESOC, the data type identifier
is set to sss = OMO for the marscentric operational orbit file. The sequence
number is not equal to the version number of the original file name. Instead
they get a new chronological sequence number. OMO files always cover a month
of orbit data and get frequently updated. Therefor the first file from ESOC
that covers a specific file gets after renaming the sequence number _00
and when an updated OMO is received the new file will get the same file
name as the first file but the sequence number is increased by one and so on.
Utimately only the files with the higest version numbers will be archived
since these contain the latest orbit information. The extension is set to
eee = AUX.

|-SPICE:
| Spice Kernels were produced by the ROS/MEX Flight Dynamics Team,
| converted to IEEE binary format, and then distributed by the
| JPL Navigation and Ancillary Information Facility (NAIF).
| For more information on NAIF and SPICE see
| http://pds-naif.jpl.nasa.gov/
|
| The original Spice Kernels were merged with the JPL DE405
| planetary ephemeris and the ephemerides of Phobos and Deimos
| for the same time interval.
|
DSN: Ancillary files provided by Deep Space Network
|-EOP: Earth Orientation Parameter Files
|
| Earth Orientation Parameter files were produced by the Time
| and Earth Motion Precision Observation (TEMPO) Group at JPL.
| They documented and predicted Earth rotation (rate and axis).
| These are ASCII files of variable length records. Each
| record is delimited by an ASCII line-feed <LF> (ASCII 10).
| There are both 'long'and 'short' versions. The long file covered
| past motion since about 1962 and a prediction for about three
| months into the future; these files have typical sizes of 1 MB.
| The short file covered the most recent nine months of past motion
| and a prediction for three months into the future; these files are
| typically 30 kB. Each EOP file is accompanied by a PDS minimal
| label

|-OPT: Orbit Propagation and Timing Geometry File
|
|Orbit Propagation and Time Generation files contain estimates of
|event timing (e.g., equator crossings) that depend on
|precise knowledge of the spacecraft orbit. These are ASCII
|files of variable length records. Each record is delimited
|by an ASCII carriage-return <CR> (ASCII 13) line-feed <LF>
|(ASCII 10) pair. File names have the form ydddeeeC.OPT where
|the file name components are the same as for BCK files (above).
|Each OPT file is accompanied by a PDS minimal label with file
|name ydddeeeC.LBL. Typical files are based on reconstructed
|spacecraft trajectories, cover a month of operation, and have
|sizes less than 500 kB.

|-LIT: Light Time File
|
|Light Time files give radio propagation time from the spacecraft to
|Earth as a function of time. These are ASCII files of fixed length
|records. Each record is delimited by an ASCII carriage-return
|line-feed pair. File names have the form ydddeeeC.LIT where the
|file name components are the same as for DKF files. An LIT file may
|cover more than 365 days; so eee may be a year or more after
|yddd. Each LIT file is accompanied by a PDS label.
