PDS4 Mission Needs Assessment

Reta BeebeDan Crichton

Introduction

• Reta Beebe assigned to review PDS Discipline Node reports to provide an outline for early mission needs for PDS4

• Set up the Data Suppliers’ Working Group (DSWG)• Ed Guinness, Steve Joy, Lyle Huber to develop a plan to identify

needs led by Reta (August 2010 MC F2F)

• Put together a set of specific PDS4 archiving needs for three missions – LADEE, MAVEN, & Phobos-SRM.

• Drivers Identified by the DSWG• data object types used by the types of instruments on these

missions • the timeline with when the missions need the information

• Presented to the MC in November 2010 & March 2011

Considerations

• Upcoming Missions• Types of Instruments• Types of Products• Approximate Start of Product Design• Approximate Delivery Date to PDS• Tool Needs, etc

Results (LADEE)

LADEE/PDS4 Support Update

• LADEE has setup bimonthly telecons of a data working group.

• In an effort to speed up use of PDS4, each team has submitted a representative example of a data file.

• Lyle Huber and Carol Neese/Small Bodies have refined these submissions

• Neese is working closely with the ATMOS node to define the needed data structure

• Lynn Neakrase, Shannon Rees and Matias Roybal have begun developing initial LADEE-tailored schemas and template XML labels using the samples and closely related instrument data files provided by the instrument teams

Results (MAVEN)

MAVEN/PDS4 Support Update

• Draft ICDs came out in April

• MAVEN data management plan was released in June

• No sample products or SIS development discussion has occurred with PPI, but draft SISs due in Nov 2011 with final versions in March 2012

Results (Phobos-Grunt)

Phobos/PDS4 Support Update

• Launch is now scheduled for 11 Nov 2011 (11.11.11).

• The data plan was updated and sent back to the mission to review

• SBN planning to go over this fall and do some hands-on workshops on PDS4 label development.

Results (EXOMARS)

Summary

• The mission drivers are the start dates for product design.

• Initial data product support required for a few simple product types (ASCII tables, FITS tables, etc).

• Actual ingestion will not occur until early 2013.• However, short cruise time of LADEE makes it a challenge. Planning

is underway.

• Validation tools along with design assistance to create the products are important.

• Phobos-SRM considered, but instrument needs are still to be analyzed and captured.

• Plan: Keep PDS4 deployments scoped to support LADEE, MAVEN and Phobos-SMR first
