General Description

The MOLA Science Team is required to create, validate, and archive the MOLA standard data products. To define each standard data product, the MOLA Science Team is required to provide a Software Interface Specification (SIS). The SIS shall describe the data product contents and define the record and data format. The Planetary Data System's (PDS) Geosciences Node has agreed to archive the MOLA standard data products. The MOLA archive volume shall be described in a separate SIS. The MOLA standard science data products are the Aggregated Experiment Data Record--all MOLA raw data aggregated by orbit; Precision Experiment Data Record--MOLA science data processed into profiles with precision orbit locations added; Any Experiment Gridded Data Record--MOLA gridded data in 2 different densities. This SIS shall define the Aggregated Experiment Data Record (AEDR) Data Product.

Purpose

This document describes the format and contents of the AEDR data product. This includes a description of the required SFDU format and the format and contents of the AEDR.

Scope

This SIS describes the format of the SFDU labels and headers and the AEDR to the bit level. The AEDR file is an aggregation of the MOLA telemetry packets (Experiment Data Records) received from the Space Flight Operations Center (SFOC) at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL). The Experiment Data Records (EDRs) will be produced continuously during instrument operation. The instrument can operate in either science or maintenance mode; data is collected during each mode and stored in the telemetry packets. There are three types of maintenance (or diagnostic) modes that the instrument can be commanded to perform with varying output stored in the packet. Consequently, there are several record formats possible within the AEDR file. The formats of all record types are described in this SIS.

Functional Description

Data Source, Destination, and Transfer Method

The source of the telemetry packet data is SFOC through a dedicated NASA Communications (NASCOM) link to the MOLA Science Operations Planning Computer (SOPC). The packets will be aggregated by orbit using the SFOC-provided Browser tool and stored as an AEDR file on the SOPC. Refer to See MOLA-672-PL-89.354 Operations Facility Configuration and Control Plan, Version 3.0, January 15, 1992, NASA GSFC WFF for a description of the SOPC. The Browser tool is described in See SFOC0088-00-04-02 SFOC User's Guide for Workstation End Users, Volume 2: Accessing Data, Version 15 (Review Copy Only) . The AEDR files will be transferred to the MOLA operations file system via FTP (standard UNIX File Transfer Protocol). From the MOLA operations file system, the AEDR file is available for retrieval by the science team via FTP and for input to the processor to create the PEDR Data Product. The AEDR Data Product will be created by prefixing the required SFDU and PDS labeling to the AEDR file. After product verification by the MOLA Science Team, the AEDR data product shall be transferred to the SOPC for subsequent delivery to the Planetary Data System's (PDS) Geosciences Node using FTP. The PDS Geosciences Node will archive the AEDR Data Products to CD-ROM and make the products available to the science community.

Pertinent Relationships with Other Interfaces

Since the AEDR file is an aggregation of the MOLA Experiment Data Records (EDR), any changes to the EDR may directly affect the AEDR file.

The Precision Experiment Data Record (PEDR) Data Product is derived from the AEDR file. Therefore, any changes to the AEDR file may affect the software creating the PEDR Data Product.

Labeling and Identification

The AEDR data product shall be labeled according to the standards of the MGS Project and the PDS. SFDU label and header definitions and descriptions are contained in See SFOC0038-05-12-03 SFOC Software Interface Specification SFDUs Generated/Received by TIS, November 30, 1990, Jet Propulsion Laboratory .

The data set id for the MOLA AEDR data product is MO-M-MOLA-2-AEDR-L0-V1.0. This is the data set id that was provided to the PDB and the PDS. This id describes the overall AEDR data product. The version number is incremented should the AEDR Data Product format change.

The file naming convention for each AEDR data product produced is AA#####a.B .

Where:

A

represents the MOLA instrument, an altimeter

A

is the data product, AEDR, identifier

#####

is the orbit number with leading zeros

a

is the product edition number

B

indicates the file is fixed point, binary.

Assumptions and Constraints

The AEDR product contains all MOLA telemetry packets.

  1. Each AEDR retains the CHDO information contained in the corresponding EDR.
  2. The AEDR product will contain one orbit of data.
  3. Each record will contain one packet of MOLA data.
  4. SFDU headers and labels will be attached to the AEDR file.
  5. The EDR format will be maintained in the AEDR.

Environment

Hardware Characteristics and Limitations

Not applicable.

Interface Medium and Characteristics

For the creation and archival of the AEDR file, several interfaces will be necessary: SFOC-to-SOPC transfer of telemetry packets (EDRs) via NASCOM link. The AEDR file shall be transferred to the MOLA operations file system for further processing to create the PEDR Data Product and for Science Team availability.

The AEDR Data Product shall be distributed to the PDS Geosciences Node for archival. The MOLA CD-ROM Archive Volume SIS, See MOLA-972-SP-92.213 MOLA CD-ROM Standard Product Archive Collection Software Interface Specification, Version 1.0, S. Slavney, R. E. Arvidson, Washington University, August 11, 1993 for the CD-ROM structure and data access information.

The interface media for file transfer and distribution are described in detail in See MOLA-672-PL-89.354 Operations Facility Configuration and Control Plan, Version 3.0, January 15, 1992, NASA GSFC WFF .

Input / Output Protocols

Not applicable.

Failure Protection, Detection, and Recovery Features

Backup Requirements

The AEDR data product will be backed up on magnetic media on the MOLA operations file system at GSFC. The AEDR data product will be archived by the PDS to CD-ROM. The MGS Project Data Base will be available as an additional backup location.

Security and Integrity Measures

Refer to See MOLA-672-PL-89.354 Operations Facility Configuration and Control Plan, Version 3.0, January 15, 1992, NASA GSFC WFF for a description of the MOLA system security and integrity plan.

End-Of-File (or Medium) Conventions

The AEDR Data Product shall be written as a standard UNIX flat, sequential file. The end of an AEDR Data Product will be detected by the end-of-file marker. In the FORTRAN programming language, the file may be opened with the keywords ACCESS='DIRECT', RECL=1230 (bytes) and end-of-file detected in a READ statement with the ERR= keyword.

Utility Programs

The following utilities are provided by SFOC and will be used to check the AEDR files for completeness and validity:

Browser

  1. DECOM
  2. DMD

Refer to See SFOC0088-00-04-02 SFOC User's Guide for Workstation End Users, Volume 2: Accessing Data, Version 15 (Review Copy Only) for the description and the functions of these utilities.

Data Flow Characteristics

Operational Characteristics

Generation Method and Frequency

The process to create the AEDR data product is performed as part of MOLA mission operations. The telemetry packets will be aggregated on a Mars Global Surveyor mapping orbit basis. There will be approximately 12 orbits per day with each orbit taking 117 minutes 39 seconds to complete. The mapping mission will last for one Martian year which is 687 Earth days.

Time Span of Product

The AEDR data products will be produced continuously for the life of mission (687 days). Each product will contain approximately 7000 seconds of data.

Data Volume

The daily volume of telemetry data is about 8 Mbytes or approximately 6000 packets per day.

Flow Rate

Nominally, the AEDR Data Product is created on the SOPC and transferred to the MOLA operations file system once per day for the previous 24 hours of data. Since MOLA operations will be performed during a standard five day work week, on Mondays (or the first day of the work week) the processing will need to include the data collected since the last day of the previous work week.

Detailed Data Object Definition

Structure and Organization Overview

The AEDR products will be built to include the required SFDU structure. See See MOLA-972-SP-92.213 MOLA CD-ROM Standard Product Archive Collection Software Interface Specification, Version 1.0, S.

00000001

is the delimiter value field, Total EOF Indicator Count (ASCII)

Data Format

The data is written sequentially. Each record will contain one packet of MOLA telemetry data--either science or maintenance mode and its corresponding CHDO header. The MOLA telemetry data is described in See DRSE007 Mars Observer Software Interface Specification MOLA Packet Data Record, September 16, 1991, Jet Propulsion Laboratory . This document also defines the CHDO header format. Byte 11 in each AEDR indicates the mode for the packet: 0 indicates normal science mode; 1, 2, or 3 indicate maintenance (diagnostic) mode. To date, values 4 and above have not been assigned. See AEDR Science Mode Packet Format and See AEDR Maintenance Mode Packet Format describe the record formats for the Aggregated Experiment Data Record (AEDR) MOLA Science Mode Packet and the Aggregated Experiment Data Record (AEDR) MOLA Maintenance Mode Packet. The tables define the record format to the bit level. The tables define the starting byte for each data element in the record. Refer to the AEDR data dictionaries in See AEDR File Science Mode Data Dictionary and See The AEDR Maintenance Mode Data Dictionary for detailed descriptions and formats of the data elements in each record.
