Overview

The archive of Cassini Visual and Infrared Mapping Spectrometer (VIMS) data is a single, multi-volume set that will span the entire mission. The archive volumes contain VIMS data products, instrument documentation, calibration files, calibration algorithms and documentation necessary to produce higher level calibrated products.

The VIMS Tabs

The tabs associated with this page describe the VIMS data files and how to obtain and use them.

• About VIMS Data - Discussion of the organization of the archive and links to key documents.
• Finding Data - Suggestions on how to search the archive for specific data.
• Accessing Data - Links to the data volumes.
• VIMS Calibration - Discussion of, and links to, available VIMS calibration files and software.

Data Analysis Software

• VIMS QUBES are compatible with the Integrated Software for Imagers and Spectrometers (ISIS) software package which is available through the USGS Flagstaff web site. WARNING: The pipeline scripts included in the SOFTWARE directory are compatible with ISIS 2. They are not compatible with ISIS 3.
• Another data analysis tool, CAVIAR, is in development and will be made available in the near future. It operates under IDL and can be run under IDL VM software which is available at no cost. It will be useful for both ISS and VIMS data analysis. We will supply links to the appropriate pages when they become available.
