Gene,

The detector temperature requirement for IR delivery to the PDS is < -145.45C.

243D0_07 is higher than that limit.

MRO:DETECTOR_TEMPERATURE       = -143.586

I will contact you by email to discuss this matter further.

[Understanding Emission Angle]

Shyam,

I have forwarded your questions to the PDS Imaging Node, and will post their response as soon as I receive it.

Thanks,
Jennifer

Gene,

I have forwarded your question to the CRISM team and will get back to you shortly.

Thank you,
Jennifer

[Understanding Emission Angle]

Shyam,

The definition for emission angle in ODE is correct. The image where the craters look circular has the same value for scaled pixel width and height. The other image has a scaled pixel width that is twice that of the pixel height making the craters look elliptical. You can verify this by following the link in ODE to the team site and viewing the metadata there (see attached images). This metadata is also provided in the index table of the PDS archive.

Please let us know if you have any more questions.
