This status report provides updates on the MESSENGER and Dawn missions, including changes to the archive plan, progress on data processing, and upcoming reviews and launches.
E N D
MESSENGER • It has been previously reported that the MESSENGER project did not plan on archiving any data EXCEPT for EDRs until 1 year after the end of the prime mission. • Objections to this plan were raised by the PDS (lead by GEO and PPI) but the project argued that they had a signed DMP that contained this schedule.
MESSENGER • Bill and Ed raised a stink about this at HQ. They were able to gather enough support (M. Lindstrom, others?) and documentation to make the MESSENGER project change it’s archive plan. • MESSENGER will now archive calibrated data 6 months after the last Mercury flyby, and every 6 months during the mapping mission.
MESSENGER • Thus far, all of the EDR SISs have been written, reviewed, and signed. • RDR SIS’s are under development • Some instrument teams will provide two SIS’s (RDR and map products) and are only currently working on the RDR SIS. • Others will provide a single SIS for calibrated data products.
MESSENGER • Late breaking news from M. Lindstrom…
Dawn The news from Dawn is generally good… • Dawn completed TVAC with only a few bumps and bruises. • Broken components have been replaced and have completed unit TVAC tests. • Last week, Dawn passed it’s pre-ship review. Dawn will be shipped to the Cape in about 2 weeks. • Shipping is delayed until after vibe testing the reassembled s/c at NRL. • The mission is still on schedule for a June 20th launch. • The Operational Readiness Review (ORR) is scheduled for May 8.
Dawn M. Sykes and S. Joy recently formed a Dawn Data Archive Working Group (DDAWG) with support from the PDS-SBN. • Draft EDR/RDR SISs under development and will be delivered before the ORR in May. • The DAWG is working to develop guidelines for archive product pipeline development, review, and rules.
