The PDS Geosciences Node has created a Jupyter Notebook (jupyterNotebookViewIMG.zip) to provide users with an option for viewing a browse representation of a PDS3 or PDS4 image and saving it as a PNG file using Python code. A Jupyter Notebook is an open source web application interface for creating and sharing code examples and documentation. The patterns provided in the Jupyter Notebook can be used as a sample for your own code when working with PDS images in Python. More about the Jupyter Notebook can be found here: https://pds-geosciences.wustl.edu/tools/pds_image_jupyternb.html

The PDS Geosciences Node Spectral Library has been updated to include a recent RELAB spectral data delivery to the existing RELAB spectral library data bundle. https://pds-geosciences.wustl.edu/speclib/urn-nasa-pds-relab/ The additions include 2,223 new measurements.

Hi There, I'm sorry that we didn't respond sooner. I am happy to help. Are you still having this problem? Is this an attempt to download through the Orbital Data Explorer (ODE) cart, the PDS Geosciences Website, or another location? A specific URL example would be helpful as we work out the issue. Also, is this over a wireless network or a wired? Depending on the source location, I can provide some quick suggestions. If you are attempting to download from the PDS Geosciences Website, you could try Curl or Wget from our HTTPS locations, in addition to a web browser. We still support FTP downloads from the Geo website, which can be a convenient option, as well. When using the ODE cart, we provide the option to use the free Aspera high-speed data transfer plugin for your browser. When you mention that files are "corrupt", what issue are you seeing? Do the expected md5 checksums not match those provided or the file is only partially downloaded? Standard PDS .img files may throw a corrupt error if double clicked in a Windows environment because standard Windows doesn't know how to open them. For more information on opening img files, see our FAQ https://pds-geosciences.wustl.edu/faq.html Thanks, Dan

A new database has been added to the PDS Geosciences Node Spectral Library. Frankenspectra Database Bundle - A SSERVI funded project to analyze, using reflectance spectroscopy, 27 fine-particulate (less than 10-um) terrestrial minerals to create a far-UV through MIR single spectrum built from the best pieces of spectra acquired at multiple US and international labs. https://pds-speclib.rsl.wustl.edu/

The ODE REST interface has been updated to version 2.1.5. Update Summary: Added the ability to filter product count and product queries by PDS4 Product LID, Bundle LID, and Collection LID. Changed observation time and product creation time filters to no longer use wildcards. This change will have minimal impact on users, and only affects queries with one date time value provided with a wildcard. Now any minimum value will be used as a true minimum and the same for maximum values that are provided. This update aligns with recent changes to the ODE website. The updated help document is found here: https://oderest.rsl.wustl.edu/ODE_REST_V2.1.5.pdf For questions, contact us at oderest@wunder.wustl.edu.

Direct URL links to files hosted by the PDS Cartography and Imagine Sciences Node have been updated in the ODE database. Old path to archives: https://pds-imaging.jpl.nasa.gov/data/ New path to archives: https://planetarydata.jpl.nasa.gov/img/data/ Links to the previous URL will redirect to the new path, but some users' software was having issues with following the redirects. It will take some time for the links to be updated in our coverage KML and Shapefiles, as well as the help documentation. The automatic redirects should handle most user needs, in the meantime. Please let us know if you need any assistance.

The ODE product search update that uses faceted searching is now live on the primary website. The search result count is updated as a user proceeds through applying filters. The applied filters can be removed with the "Reset Form" button, which is now visible on the right side of the screen. Individual filters can be removed by clicking each applied filter on the right side of the screen.

Minor back-end code updates have been made to the ODE Diviner RDR Query tool and the ODE LOLA RDR Query tool. For the Diviner Query tool, records with invalid calibrated temperature brightness (indicated with a -9999 value) will no longer be output by the query tool. This update is to align with the recent data releases that includes more of these values. See this page for more about the temperature brightness issue: https://pds-geosciences.wustl.edu/missions/lro/diviner.htm In addition, the output query performance has been slightly improved. Please contact us ode@wunder.wustl.edu with any questions.

ODE's Granular Data System (GDS) queuing and processing services have been moved to a faster processing server. Users may notice performance improvements on requests to the ODE GDS system. The GDS system allows users to request aggregate subsets of data points from select product types with long data track observations. The system supports MOLA PEDR, LOLA RDR, Diviner RDR, and MLA Geolocated Science Query product types. The system update applies to direct queries to these services through the ODE GDS REST interface, as well. https://oderest.rsl.wustl.edu/GDSWeb/ Please send questions or report any issues to ode@wunder.wustl.edu.

The ODE Beta of the new faceted product search is available for user testing and review. https://ode.rsl.wustl.edu/beta Features include data set counts, and date/time and angle product counts and ranges based on the current criteria. The results summary and view results section to the right side of the product search screen allows users to quickly view applied filters, total result count, and results summary. The section also includes buttons to view the search results in a table or on a map. The ODE development team is interested in your feedback. Direct questions and feedback to ode@wunder.wustl.edu.
