  1. A new dataset of Venus radar multi-look maps is released at the PDS Geosciences Node.

    Earth-based, polarimetric radar image data for Venus were collected from 1988-2020, using the Arecibo Observatory 12.6-cm (2380 MHz) transmitter in Puerto Rico and receivers at either the Arecibo Observatory or the Green Bank Telescope in West Virginia. This data set contains maps of radar backscatter from Venus assembled from individual looks collected in these observing runs.

    The data were provided by Bruce Campbell of the Smithsonian Institution's Center for Earth and Planetary Studies and archived by the PDS Geosciences Node.

  2. A new batch of Earth-based Venus radar data has been released on the PDS Geosciences Node web site at http://pds-geoscienc...radar/index.htm. This release contains data collected on March 31, 2001, and from May 24 - May 30, 2020.

    This data set contains Earth-based, polarimetric radar image data for Venus collected from 1988 onwards, using the Arecibo Observatory 12.6-cm (2380 MHz) transmitter in Puerto Rico and receivers at either the Arecibo Observatory or the Green Bank Telescope in West Virginia. The data were provided by Bruce Campbell of  the Smithsonian Institution's Center for Earth and Planetary Studies and archived by the PDS Geosciences Node.

  3. The MSL ChemCam Passive Surface Spectra Bundle is released at the PDS Geosciences Node.

    This bundle contains MSL ChemCam passive surface spectra calibrated to units of radiance and relative reflectance, along with a metadata table populated for each ChemCam passive spectrum. The data were generated by Jeff Johnson, Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory, and funded by the NASA Planetary Data Archiving, Restoration, and Tools program (PDART).

  4. The Apollo Passive Seismic Experiment Expanded Event Catalog Bundle is released at the PDS Geosciences Node.

    This bundle contains an integrated catalog of lunar seismic events, including event timing, amplitude, quality, location, and classification of seismic sources, gathered from multiple published works as well as new analyses. These data were compiled by Renee Weber (NASA MSFC) as part of the PDART award “Apollo Passive Seismic Experiment Expanded Event Catalog.”

  5. This bundle contains a detailed chronology of contact science (CS) activities and targets conducted by both MER rovers. The term contact science encompasses measurements executed by any of the instruments on the rovers’ Instrument Deployment Device (IDD), namely the Alpha Particle X-ray Spectrometer, Mössbauer, Microscopic Imager, and Rock Abrasion Tool. The data were compiled and archived by the PDS Geosciences Node.
