Calibration Reports / Software Interface Specifications

All calibration reports and the MET and TEGA Software Interface Specification (SIS) documents are currently under ITAR clearance review. An approved version of these documents is expected to be part of release 2 (Feb 22, 2009).

Features and Targets

The sol summaries contain a list of features and targets defined by the science team that were available for use on a given sol. Not every feature or target listed was used.

Daily activity plans will be included not later than release 3 of the Notebook (April 29, 2009) showing activities, targets, features, and related products.

Coordinated Observations

The Phoenix and Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) missions carried out a series of coordinated observations. The MRO data from coordinated observations within the first 90 sols have not been released at this time. Coordinated observation listings will be included in concert with the MRO data release on March 9, 2009.
