LRO Instrument SuiteLRO Instrument Suite


LRO Mission PhasesLRO Mission Phases


LRO Data Management OverviewLRO Data Management Overview

Develop and maintain Project Data Management Schedule

Develop Project Data Management and Archive Plan (DM&AP)

Approve SOC deliverable documents

Coordinate SOC DM&AP development

Coordinate development of SOC-PDS ICDs

Provide Project perspective in measurement data format definition

Coordinate SOC-PDS interface testing

Help coordinate SOC and any PDS testing with ground system

Science Data Manager (SDM) is Project POC for SOCs and PDS


LRO Data Delivery ScheduleLRO Data Delivery Schedule

SOCs deliver 3-6 month old, validated, initial version of LRO data to PDS every 3 months (Mini-RF: every 6 months), starting 6 months after launch.

L + 6 mos L + 9 mos L + 12 mos L + 15 mos

Data DatesL -> L+3

L+3 -> L+6

L+6 -> L+9

L+9 -> L+12

Continue similar schedule if processing funded for extended mission

Date PDS Releases Initial Data Version (L=LRO Launch date)

Notes: 1) Subsequent versions and derived data products due to PDS in next 3-month delivery after creation and validation. 2) Creation of subsequent versions and derived data products is on a time scale commensurate with the level of data processing required. 3) Final data processing and release can not exceed 6 months from end of primary mission or extended mission, as applicable.

Access to PDS data?Access to PDS data?

How PDS makes data available to the public— Data archives reside at the PDS Discipline Nodes where they are

maintained by scientists who use the data and who can provide expert help.

— Most PDS archives are available online for downloading and some can also be requested on CD or DVD.

— PDS provides online search tools to help locate data of interest.PDS Discipline NodesAtmospheres Node, Reta Beebe, New Mexico State University in Las Cruces, NM

Geosciences Node, Ray Arvidson, Washington University in St. Louis, MO

PPI (Planetary Plasma Interactions) Node, Ray Walker, UCLA, Los Angeles, CA

Rings Node, Mark Showalter, SETI Institute, Mountain View, CA

Small Bodies Node, Mike A’Hearn, University of Maryland, College Park, MD

Imaging Node, Lisa Gaddis, U.S. Geologic Survey in Flagstaff, AZ and JSue LaVoie, Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, CA

PDS Support NodesNAIF (Navigation and Ancillary Information Facility) Node, Chuck Acton, Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, CA

Engineering Node, Dan Crichton, Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, CA


PDS Involvement in LROPDS Involvement in LRO

Geosciences as lead node— Advises the LRO Data Working Group (LDWG) lead, Stan

Scott— Provided templates/examples for Archive Plan, ICDs, and SISs— Reviewing the draft SOC DM&AP and relevant ICDs— Assigned to LOLA, LEND, Diviner, and Mini-RF (SAR)

instrument teams Other node activities

— PPI is assigned to CRaTER, contact made— Imaging is assigned to LAMP and LROC— Discussions with LROC and LOLA Data Node commenced— NAIF has begun discussion of SPICE kernel requirements,

attends LDWG telecons


Results of the PSS?Results of the PSS?

The PSS official report posted to...— http://science.hq.nasa.gov/strategy/NAC_sci_subcom/— Announcements by HQ staff: Lunar Science Analysis

Program (not clear if fundamental or data analysis)— Directive from Jim Green (Acting Director of the

Planetary Science Division) for PDS to review pre-LRO data to see what gaps there may be and report back on the next step for restoration

— Request for LEAG to develop a straw man set of prioritized objectives (consistent with ESMD work) for the PSS to consider before the Feb 07 lunar workshop

— Thirteen recommendations; #s 2&3, 10&11&12 are lunar


More about the LSW?More about the LSW?

The Lunar Science Workshop ...— Key goals: prioritize lunar exploration objectives— Dates: Feb 27-March 2, 2006— Location: Arizona State University— Chair: Brad Jolliff, NAC Science Subcommittee— LOC: Mark Robinson (ASU), NAC member— Audience: 200 scientists, NAC, subcommittees,

AGs, center participation, university/institutes— Timeline: Organize now, announce in Jan 07,

report to NAC in April; NAC conclusions by July


Goals of LESWGGoals of LESWG

The Lunar Exploration Science Working Group’s job is to (LL, Aug 2006)...

— Provide a forum for interaction, collaboration, brain-storming, invention

— Hold discussions of lunar science activities and results

— Respond to existing proposal opportunities … and probably future Lunar Fundamental Research, LRO Data Analysis and participation in international lunar missions …

So What can we do? (JG, Aug 2006)...— Formation of GSFC internal “Lunar Special Action

Teams” for key issue areas…


Lunar Focus Group (LFG)?Lunar Focus Group (LFG)?

The LESWG steering committee ...— Looked over the 100+ sign-ups from Aug 25— Formed set of topics for Lunar Science Groups— Broadened the composition of LESWG to include

non-690 and non-600 people— Included engineering topics, renamed LFGs— Combined set of 15 possible topics— Identified data contacts for most, volunteers?— Present at the Oct 19th general LESWG— Will then post to the public LESWG web page

http://ssedso.gsfc.nasa.gov/initiatives/lunar/LESWG/


Charter for the LFGsCharter for the LFGs "Serve as a center for GSFC activities focused on the subject area that will provide subject-matter expertise for the Center, galvanize interest in the subject, stimulate possible responses to mission opportunities, and foster partnerships to help improve GSFC's competitiveness in such responses.

The working group will, as needed, assess available personnel and capability within Goddard, organize workshops, post information on the LESWG web site, make presentations at LESWG general meetings, and encourage smaller group meetings and other interactions between interested parties to help grow the capability within the Center to meet the above objectives. The working group leader(s) will regularly report to the LESWG steering group on the activities of the action group."
