Recommendations:
1)
The disk should be organized by target body, not by CDROM
volume.
I wanted to copy all the Iapetus images and had to hunt for
the
Iapetus directories and change directory several times in order
to
copy the files.
As agreed upon in the peer review, we have opted instead to
reorganize each volume by time instead of (nominal) target. Users will need to
search the indices or PDS on-line search tools to find all the Iapetus images.
2)
All the documentation should be in one directory and not
duplicated
in many directories. Reference is made to the Voyager
Calibration
Report. This document could be easily scanned and
included
on the disk as could other documents.
The DOCUMENT directory is replicated on all volumes and is
identical. The Voyager Calibration Report is included. Note that we had to obtain
special permission from JPL to release this document!
3)
The disk needs a picture catalog to help the user select the
images
he wants to use. The disk also needs SEDR data to help with
further
processing.
A complete set of full-resolution JPEGs is now included on every
volume, inside the BROWSE directory tree. More extensive search capabilities
are available on line from the PDS.
The SEDR files have been converted to SPICE C kernels and are
available for download from the PDS Rings Node. We hope to have improved,
ÒC-smithedÓ kernels available in the near future. Because this information is
still changing, it is not being included on the volumes.
4) It
would be handy to have an file of each image in a common
computer
format, like jpg or gif.
See above.
5) It
would be handy to include some Voyager-specific NAIF routines
and
kernels if space permits. There was 27GB of free space on the
hard
drive.
The NAIF toolkit is also frequently changing, so this
recommendation was deemed impractical. The NAIF toolkit and all relevant
kernels are available on line.
