Acquiring MGS/MOC Image Data on CDROM

• MGS/MOC CD-ROM volume set available at no cost to NASA-funded investigators. Contact PDS Imaging Node at: pdsmgr@usgs.gov.

• Other scientists may obtain the MOC CD-ROM volume set for a nominal cost from the National Space Science Data Center (NSSDC). For more information about the NSSDC, go to their web site at: http://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/planetary/planetary_home.html

MGS/MOC WWW and FTP Internet Resources

• PDS MGS/MOC Data Access Web Site (URL:http://ida.wr.usgs.gov/graphical.htm). This system provides a simple graphical point-and-click interface to the MGS/MOC data collection. This web site organizes access to MOC images by geographic location.

• Additionally, the MGS/MOC standard data products can be accessed electronically by linking to the World Wide Web URL at: http://ida.wr.usgs.gov/index.html

• PDS Planetary Image Atlas (URL:http://www-pdsimage.jpl.nasa.gov/PDS/public/Atlas/Atlas.html). General purpose search and retrieval system for MGS/MOC data products and other planetary image data sets. Data can be searched by a wide variety of search criteria including: location, viewing conditions, camera operating modes, resolution, etc.

• Malin Space Science Systems, responsible for MGS/MOC operations, web site (URL:http://barsoom.msss.com/newhome.html).

• PDS MGS/MOC FTP Access (URL:http://ida.wr.usgs.gov/d_access.htm) data available for "bulk download" of large volumes of data through anonymous ftp access at ida.wr.usgs.gov.
