Elyse,
We have forwarded your question to the CRISM team and will post their response as soon as it's available.

Restored Apollo 15 and Apollo 16 Soil Mechanics data are now online at the PDS Geosciences Node.
These datasets include tables of raw readings and reduced data from the Lunar Self-Recording Penetrometer (LSRP) on the surface of the Moon for the Apollo 15 and Apollo 16 Soil Mechanics experiments.

Part 2 of the first release of data from the Mars Science Laboratory rover, Curiosity, is now online at the PDS Geosciences Node.
Part 2 includes derived data products (RDRs) acquired on sols 0 through 89 (August 6 through November 5, 2012) for these instruments: APXS, CheMin, Hazcam, Navcam, REMS, and SAM, along with CheMin raw (EDR) data.
Part 1, released February 27, 2013, included raw data products (EDRs) acquired on sols 0-89 for the APXS, ChemCam, DAN, Hazcam, Navcam, and REMS instruments, along with SPICE data.
Release of the following datasets has been delayed: ChemCam RDRs, DAN RDRs, and RAD EDRs and RDRs, and all MAHLI, MARDI, and Mastcam products. These data sets will be released as soon as they are made available to PDS.

The NASA Planetary Data System announces the first release of the Analyst's Notebook for Mars Science Laboratory (MSL). The Analyst's Notebook combines sequence information, engineering and science data, and documentation for virtual mission replay.
The MSL Analyst's Notebook is available through the Geosciences Node at http://an.rsl.wustl.edu/msl.

A new batch of data has been added to the Earth-based S-band Lunar Radar dataset available on the PDS Geosciences Node web site at http://pds-geosciences.wustl.edu/missions/sband/index.htm. This data set contains dual-polarization backscatter maps of the lunar nearside collected at a wavelength of 12.6 cm (S-band), using the 305 m Radio Telescope at Arecibo to transmit and the NRAO's 105 m Robert C. Byrd Green Bank Telescope to receive. 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.

The Virtual Astronaut (VA) is an interactive 3D environment created using multi-source and multi-instrument data from orbital and landed missions. The VA allows you to explore and view the Martian landscape as an astronaut cooperatively working with a rover, and to better understand and visualize the geomorphic and geologic contexts of Mars.
As a 3D visualization tool, the VA supports navigation through the virtual environment with a mouse, keyboard shortcuts, or a gamepad. A virtual astronaut can walk across the Martian surface or control a rover driving along a path taken by Opportunity. The scene is created with multiple image mosaics overlain on a digital elevation model. You may adjust the contrast of the scene, change the terrain, make measurements, and visit targets where Opportunity performed in-situ measurements.
The first release of the Virtual Astronaut is a prototype study of Mars Exploration Rover (MER) Opportunity's Santa Maria campaign. Santa Maria is an impact crater on Mars that is about 90 meters in diameter and is located at 2.172° S, 5.445° W in Meridiani Planum. The crater sits northwest of the larger Endeavour Crater. Before resuming its long-term trek toward Endeavour, Opportunity investigated Santa Maria from December 16, 2010 to March 22, 2011 (Martian days, sols 2451-2545). The VA for Cape York, a small rocky island sitting on the northwest rim of Endeavour Crater, is also under development.
The Virtual Astronaut runs within web browsers on Windows and Mac OS X computers with at least 2 GB of RAM, preferably with dedicated video memory. The Unity Web Player plug-in is required (freely available online). Additional information on recommended system specifications is in the User's Manual.
The VA was developed at the Geosciences Node of NASA's Planetary Data System (PDS) and can be accessed at: http://va.rsl.wustl.edu

New and revised LRO LEND data products from the LAUNCH through COMMISSIONING mission phases are now available. The data are available from the Geosciences Node at: http://pds-geosciences.wustl.edu/missions/lro/lend.htm. See errata.txt for details.

The target searches have arrived. Enjoy!

The MER Analyst's Notebook has been updated with data from release 32, containing data from sols 2701 to 2790 for the Opportunity rover.
New Features:
1. Target Search. Search for targets by name, sol, or site and position, and plot them on locator frames. Targets can be found in the Sol Summaries as well as under the "Search" tab. Note that targets have only been released through sol 2654. The target list has been minimally processed and may contain errors.
2. Integrated Mosaics. Mosaics are now integrated with data and documents in the Sol Summaries.

Phil,
We intend to add target searches with the upcoming release, which is May 29.
Thanks,
Jennifer

A new earth-based lunar radar altimetry map is now available: http://pds-geosciences.wustl.edu/missions/lram/index.htm
This dataset contains digital elevation models (DEMs) of the lunar south pole. Elevation data at 200 pixels per degree of latitude (~150 m spatial resolution) were obtained with radar interferometry from the Goldstone Solar System Radar and calibrated with Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter laser altimetry data.
The data were provided by Michael Busch and Jean-Luc Margot of the University of California, Los Angeles, and archived by the PDS Geosciences Node.

Lunar Prospector spherical harmonic data of the lunar gravity field from the Goddard Lunar Gravity Model 3 (GLGM-3) are now available: http://pds-geosciences.wustl.edu/missions/lunarp/shadr.html. This data set was produced by Frank Lemoine, NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center and archived by the PDS Geosciences Node.

Please see the MRO/CRISM Data Users' Workshop 2012 website for the current agenda and list of presenters:
-
The 2012 MRO/CRISM Data Users' Workshop will be held in association with the 43rd Lunar and Planetary Science Conference on Sunday, March 18th, 2012 from 1:00 PM - 5:00 PM in Waterway 2-3 at The Woodlands Waterway Marriott Hotel and Convention Center, The Woodlands, Texas.
The Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) Compact Reconnaissance Imaging Spectrometer for Mars (CRISM) has been in operation since late 2006 and has acquired over 20,000 high spatial and spectral resolution targeted observations of the Martian surface. The 2009 CRISM Data Users' Workshop introduced the data set to the community, described data products in detail, and trained attendees on using CRISM-specific software to analyze the data.
At this second workshop, CRISM team members will review significant updates to PDS-delivered CRISM data products including an update to the radiometric calibration of both visible and near-infrared (VNIR) and infrared (IR) observations, and the implementation of a data filtering procedure that addresses systematic and stochastic instrument noise. In addition, a new family of highly derived CRISM data products - the Map Projected Targeted Reduced Data Record (MTRDR) product set - will be detailed and the utility of this product suite for scientific investigations will be demonstrated. The MTRDR product set represents a major advance in the accessibility of CRISM-derived spectral information and is expected to become the CRISM product set of preference for a large portion of the scientific community.
All attendees are requested to REGISTER ONLINE for this event.

Bill,
Thanks for your inquiry. The tables to which you're referring can be found on the Analyst's Notebook: http://an.rsl.wustl.edu/mer/merbrowser/browserFr.aspx?tab=res&m=MERB. Click on "Additional Data Sets" and then "Traverse and Crater DTMs." The files are mera_traverse_sol_1-2430.txt and merb_traverse_sol_1-2520.txt.
Please contact us with additional questions,
