  2. Lunar Mapping Project (LMP) • Sponsored by Exploration Systems Mission Directorate, Constellation Program Office, and Lunar Precursor Robotic Program • ESMD: Mike Wargo at NASA HQ • Constellation: Wendell Mendell at JSC • LPRP: Tony Lavoie at MSFC • LMP Goals • Create a ‘lunar data system’ that can be used to support mission operations for a landed lunar mission • This Meeting • Share information about what data and products are available… • PDS archive contents, formats, standards, tools • Distribution, services, viewing and analysis tools • Reps from JPL, GSFC, Ames, JSC, MSFC • Lunar data archives • …and what data and products will likely be required by users • In situ lunar station architecture planning • Pre-mission modeling of lighting conditions at landing sites • Mission operations • Science and engineering analyses and visualization Gaddis Aug 2007

  3. Described PDS organization and operations • Discipline and support nodes • Expert assistance and guidance on archive development • Data archives, search capabilities, and tools • ODE, Image Atlas, Unified Coord DB, Map-a-Planet and new data search tools, etc. • Summarized lunar data in PDS • Historic and more recent data • LRO plans and assignments • Mentioned IPDA and int’l mission plans • Provided updated digital copy of ‘Lunar Data Tour’ • Includes data and tools within and outside of PDS • Added links to: • Apollo image data (ASU) • onMoon (JPL) lunar data server • New Lunar GIS (USGS) Gaddis Aug 2007

  4. Challenges • Lunar data volumes (esp for LROC) are BIG! • But data storage, access solutions will build on MRO • Not all LRO data will be in ‘usable’ form • Data providers likely to request add’l funding • No plan to process or otherwise incorporate data from international missions • Improved geodetic control required for landing • Lunar science community is struggling to resurrect and distribute h/c lunar data, information, maps from 1960’s • Google • Lunar wiki • Lunar exploration community is unfamiliar with tools developed for operations on Mars etc. • Human spaceflight emphasis • Catching up on s/w and interfaces used for MER, etc. • Now ~one year before LRO PSP!!! Gaddis Aug 2007

  5. Meeting Summary • Attendees (NASA ‘customers’) want: • Topography data (NOW!) • Simple data interface and display tools • GIS or other COTS software? • Rapid, easy exchange of data and documents • Data integration tools to support operations • Map-projected, coregistered data products • Simple data search and identification tools • Full PDS archive and beyond • Geographic • Feature-based • Users want data that are easily found, retrieved, viewed, correlated, processed, etc. • Derived products are desired • Want to think about engineering and science, not data formats, etc. Gaddis Aug 2007

  6. Mars Data Lunar Data Current PDS Data Holdings ~40 TB Note Log Scale! Gaddis Aug 2007
